Best Public Schools in Garibaldi, OR

The city of Garibaldi, Oregon is home to a single school, Garibaldi Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school is part of the Neah-Kah-Nie School District 56, which is ranked 31 out of 140 districts in the state and rated 4 out of 5 stars.

While the Neah-Kah-Nie School District as a whole performs well, the data suggests that Garibaldi Elementary School is not a standout performer in the state. The school's test scores, particularly in mathematics, have been declining, with 5th grade math proficiency dropping from 37.5% in 2023-2024 to just 19% in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% in 2023-2024 is significantly higher than the state average, which could be contributing to the declining test scores.

Despite the school's high spending per student of $33,001 in 2022-2023, the data indicates that Garibaldi Elementary School's performance is mixed compared to the district and state averages. While the school performs better than the state in some areas, such as 4th grade English Language Arts proficiency, it lags behind in others, like 3rd grade math proficiency. Overall, the data suggests that Garibaldi Elementary School may need to address the underlying factors contributing to its declining performance and high chronic absenteeism rates in order to improve student outcomes.
