What stands out at Patrick Elementary School
Patrick Elementary School is a higher-need, mid-sized elementary school in Gold Hill, Oregon, enrolling 255 students.
Class loads run heavy: 23.2:1 is larger than about 92% of Oregon schools and 32% above the 17.6:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 65.9% lands close to the Oregon typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
Enrollment of 255 puts it in the smaller third of Oregon schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 99% of the 1,273 Oregon schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 223 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Oregon schools statewide, it ranks #221, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is led by White (77%) and Hispanic or Latino (14%) (diversity index 39/100).
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 37.3% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
The surrounding Central Point Sd 6 spends $13,095 per pupil, 28% below the Oregon average, a leaner-resourced district than most.
Central Point Sd 6 also operates Scenic Middle School (774 students) and Jewett Elementary School (607 students) alongside Patrick Elementary School.
