Summary

Joseph Conger Elementary School is a public elementary school in Klamath Falls, Oregon, serving 287 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Klamath Falls City Schools district, which is ranked 68 out of 140 districts in the state.

Joseph Conger Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with below-average performance on state assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were 32% in ELA and 36% in Math, compared to the district's 28.4% and 35.1%, and the state's 40.3% and 40.1%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for male students, Hispanic students, and students with special needs.

Additionally, Joseph Conger Elementary has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.3% to 43.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 89.16% to 94.77% in recent years, indicating that the majority of the student population comes from low-income households. While the school spends more per student and has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. Nearby Mills Elementary and Pelican Elementary generally perform better than Joseph Conger Elementary, but they also face similar challenges with high chronic absenteeism and a high percentage of students from low-income families.
