Summary:
The city of Keizer, Oregon is home to 11 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Salem-Keizer School District 24J. The district is ranked 110 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Among the schools, a few stand out in performance. Clear Lake Elementary School has the highest statewide ranking among the elementary schools, ranking 178 out of 706 Oregon elementary schools and receiving a 4-star rating. It has significantly higher test scores than the district and state averages. Optimum Learning Environment Charter School also performs well, ranking 227 out of 706 Oregon elementary schools and receiving a 3-star rating, with higher test scores than the district and state averages. Among the middle schools, Whiteaker Middle School stands out with a 3-star rating and higher test scores than the district and state averages.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the schools, with some schools, such as Keizer Elementary and Weddle Elementary, having proficiency rates well below the district and state averages. Additionally, all schools in the district have high chronic absenteeism rates and serve a population with significant economic challenges, as indicated by the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. These factors may be contributing to the disparities in academic performance and suggest the need for targeted strategies to address the challenges faced by the district.
