Schools in Canby, OR

The city of Canby, Oregon is home to 6 schools that are part of the Canby School District 86, which serves students from elementary through high school. While the district is ranked 61 out of 140 school districts in Oregon and rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, the performance of individual schools within the district varies significantly.

Two schools stand out as top performers: Howard Eccles Elementary School, which is ranked 332 out of 706 Oregon elementary schools and consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency, and William Knight Elementary School, which also exceeds district and state averages, particularly in 3rd grade Mathematics proficiency. In contrast, other schools in the district, such as Cecile Trost Elementary School, struggle to meet state averages across various academic measures.

The district as a whole faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% and lower-than-average graduation rates and test scores at the high school level. Socioeconomic factors, as evidenced by the wide range of free and reduced lunch rates, may be contributing to the disparities in school performance within the district. The Canby School District has opportunities to identify and address the root causes of these performance gaps, implement targeted interventions, and work towards more consistent academic outcomes across all its schools.
