Summary:
The city of Riddle, Oregon is home to a single elementary school, Riddle Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has been consistently low, ranking in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools over the past few years and receiving only 1-2 out of 5 stars on the SchoolDigger rating system.
Riddle Elementary School struggles with low student proficiency rates on the OSAS (Oregon Statewide Assessment System) tests, significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was just 14.3%, compared to the state average of 40.3%. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 76.17% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting a student population with a relatively low socioeconomic status.
Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.8, and per-student spending for the 2022-2023 school year was $20,608, which is higher than the state average. However, the school has also faced a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% in the 2023-2024 school year, and its statewide ranking has declined from 442 out of 706 schools in 2022-2023 to 581 out of 706 schools in 2024-2025, indicating a trend of worsening performance compared to other schools in Riddle School District 70 and the state of Oregon.
