Summary:
Canby, Oregon is served by six public schools — four K–6 elementary schools, one 7–8 middle school, and one 9–12 high school — all within Canby School District 86, which enrolls about 3,333 students and ranks 55th percentile with 3 stars overall. Enrollment is concentrated: Canby High School alone has 1,402 students (42% of the total), the four elementaries together have 1,399, and Baker Prairie Middle School has 532. School-level results vary widely, from 17th percentile at the lowest-ranked school to 54th at the highest.
Howard Eccles Elementary School is the strongest elementary in the city, leading in ELA (45.1%), math (32.4%), and science (36.5%), with the lowest chronic absenteeism at 24.5% — notable because it also has the second-highest free/reduced lunch rate at 66.58%. Canby High School is a mixed picture: its 11th-grade math (27.3%) and science (38.6%) beat state averages, but ELA is 32.3% against a state 11th-grade figure of 46%. It also has the city's highest chronic absenteeism at 36.8%.
Cecile Trost Elementary School is the lowest-ranked school at 17th percentile and 1 star, with all-grade ELA 29.9%, math 17.6%, and science 18.2% — low despite having the lowest student-teacher ratio (13.7) and below-average absenteeism (25.7%). Philander Lee Elementary School shows the sharpest decline, dropping from 42nd to 23rd percentile, with the highest poverty rate (76.34%) and the highest per-student spending ($22,873). William Knight Elementary School sits in the middle at 42nd percentile and 2 stars, while Baker Prairie Middle School improved from 1 star to 2 stars but still has weak all-grade math (23.6%). Overall, spending, poverty, and class size do not neatly predict outcomes here.
