Summary:
The city of Mulino, Oregon is home to two elementary schools: Mulino Elementary School and Clarkes Elementary School, both serving students in grades K-5 and part of the Molalla River School District 35.
Based on the available data, Clarkes Elementary School appears to be the standout performer in the Mulino area. The school has consistently higher state-wide rankings, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in the past three school years, compared to Mulino Elementary's 2-3 star ratings. Clarkes Elementary students also significantly outperform the district and state averages on standardized tests across English Language Arts, Math, and Science.
While both schools have similar student-teacher ratios and per-student spending, Clarkes Elementary serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (46.3% free/reduced lunch) compared to Mulino Elementary (39.6%). This suggests Clarkes Elementary is doing an excellent job supporting student learning and achievement, despite facing additional challenges. Both schools, however, share similar chronic absenteeism rates, indicating a need for the district to address attendance issues across the area.
