Summary

Driftwood Elementary School is a public K-8 school in Port Orford, Oregon, serving 178 students. The school is part of the Port Orford-Langlois School District 2CJ, which is ranked 118 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Driftwood Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools over the past decade, with its performance declining from a 3-star rating in 2015-2016 to a 1-star rating in the most recent school year. While female students have generally performed better than male students, the school has struggled to support the academic achievement of white students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Driftwood students consistently score well below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency, with only 20% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and as low as 5.6% proficient in Math across grade levels. The school also faces high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.1% to 41.5% in recent years.

Despite spending more per student and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Driftwood Elementary has been unable to improve its academic outcomes. This suggests that the school and district may need to re-evaluate their resource allocation and explore more effective strategies to support student learning and address the underlying causes of the school's performance challenges.
