Summary

Wright Elementary School is a public elementary school in Salem, Oregon, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. With a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, but it still outperforms the Salem-Keizer School District 24J and the state of Oregon in key academic areas.

Wright Elementary School's students consistently perform better than their peers in the district and state in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's Hispanic students, as well as its special education students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, also outperform their counterparts in the district and state. This suggests that the school may be implementing effective strategies to support these student subgroups. However, the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, which could be impacting overall student learning and achievement.

Compared to nearby schools, Wright Elementary School stands out as a relatively high-performing institution. For example, Morningside Elementary School, located about a mile away, also demonstrates strong student performance across all grade levels and subject areas. In contrast, some other nearby schools, such as Lee Elementary and Pringle Elementary, have lower academic proficiency rates and lower statewide rankings compared to Wright Elementary.
