This analysis covers two elementary schools, Evergreen Elementary and Bend Elementary, within the Evergreen Union district, both serving grades K-6 and consistently outperforming district and state academic averages.
When comparing the two, Bend Elementary stands out with a higher overall state ranking, an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 3.8%, and particularly strong science scores. It is a smaller school with a more favorable student-teacher ratio. Evergreen Elementary, the larger school, shows specific strengths in early grades, with impressive 3rd grade English and math proficiency, though it has a higher rate of chronic absenteeism.
Both schools in Evergreen Union show positive trends, improving their rankings over the last three years.
