Summary

Orchard Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school in Medford, Oregon, serving 297 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Phoenix-Talent School District 4, which is ranked 108 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Orchard Hill Elementary School has seen fluctuating statewide rankings, ranging from 303 out of 706 Oregon elementary schools in 2024-2025 (3-star rating) to 543 out of 706 in 2021-2022 (1-star rating). The school's performance has been relatively low, with a 1-star rating for the past three school years. However, the school has performed well for low socioeconomic status students, ranking 87 out of 518 Oregon elementary schools in 2024-2025 (4-star rating). Compared to nearby schools, Orchard Hill Elementary School generally underperforms Lone Pine Elementary School in the Medford School District 549C, but outperforms some other schools in the Phoenix-Talent district, such as Phoenix Elementary School and Washington Elementary School.

One area of concern for Orchard Hill Elementary School is its high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.0% to 38.1% over the past few school years. Addressing these high absenteeism rates could be a key focus for the school's improvement efforts. Additionally, the school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science have generally been lower than the district and state averages, with some exceptions in 5th-grade English Language Arts. Overall, Orchard Hill Elementary School faces challenges in its academic performance, but has shown some strengths in supporting its low-income student population.
