Summary:
The city of Canyon City, Oregon has only one school, Humbolt Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 and is part of the John Day School District 3. The district is ranked 64 out of 140 school districts in Oregon and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Humbolt Elementary School has a total enrollment of 253 students and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.6 to 1, which may contribute to its stronger performance in 3rd-grade assessments where 50% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and 66.7% were proficient or better in Mathematics. However, the school's academic performance declines in higher grade levels, with only 12.9% of 4th-graders and 5.9% of 5th-graders proficient or better in Mathematics. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% and a large percentage of students (52.96%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $23,817, the data suggests that Humbolt Elementary School may need to examine its curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems, particularly for older elementary students, to address the declining academic performance. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and providing additional resources to support the needs of the school's socioeconomically disadvantaged student population could also be important areas of focus for the school and the John Day School District 3.
