Summary:
Elgin, Oregon has just one elementary school in this data set: Stella Mayfield Elementary School, which serves grades PK–6 and enrolls 204 students as part of Elgin School District 23. Because it is the only elementary school in the city, there are no comparisons to other Elgin schools; the useful reference points are the district and the state of Oregon. The school holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 36th percentile among Oregon schools in 2025–2026, placing it slightly below the median. Its grade-level test results are identical to the district's, suggesting Stella Mayfield is essentially the district's elementary story.
There is real good news here. Chronic absenteeism is 20.2%, well below the district's 26.9% and the state's 33.5% — a meaningful advantage, especially given that 73.53% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Third- and fifth-grade English Language Arts proficiency both sit at 50.0%, above the state's 41.5% and 47.1%. Fifth-grade science, at 26.7%, is above the district's 25.3% but still below the state's 30.8%. Families also get small classes: the student-teacher ratio is 11.3 to 1, with per-student spending of $22,023.
The main concern is math, where all-grade proficiency is 24.3% against a 32.9% state average. Every tested grade trails the state, and the gap is widest in sixth grade, where only 10.3% of students are proficient versus 29.7% statewide. ELA results are uneven: fourth grade (27.8%) and sixth grade (26.7%) are roughly 15 points below state averages. Rankings have moved from the 30th percentile in 2023–2024 to 45th in 2024–2025 and back to 36th in 2025–2026, always at 2 stars. In short: strong attendance and pockets of ELA success, with math as the clear priority.
