Summary:
Falls City School District 57 in Oregon has just one elementary school, Falls City Elementary School, which serves 116 students in grades K–8 at 177 Prospect Ave in Falls City. Because it is the only elementary school in the district, there is nothing to compare it against locally — the school and district figures largely mirror each other.
The academic picture is challenging. Statewide, the school ranked 708 of 709 schools in 2025–2026, with 0 percentile and 0 stars, and its percentile was 0, 5, and 4 in the three reported years. All-grade proficiency is 8.5% in English Language Arts versus 43.8% statewide, 5.7% in math versus 32.9%, and 9.1% in science versus 30.6%. Every reported grade-level score is also below its state average. The relative bright spot is 8th grade ELA at 20%, the highest grade-level result at the school, though still 21.5 points below the state's 41.5%. Math looks weakest: 7th and 8th grade math are both under 5%, and 3rd grade ELA is also under 5%. A few values are suppressed by the state and are unknown, not zero.
Chronic absenteeism is 42.7%, lower than the district's 47.9% but higher than the state's 33.5%. Reported per-student spending is $42,435 with a student-teacher ratio of 12.2, though no state average is provided for comparison. With 116 students across nine grade levels, grade cohorts are tiny, so a result like 7.7% or 5% may reflect only one or two students and can swing widely year to year. The free/reduced lunch figure of 114.66% is anomalous — it exceeds the total enrolled population — so it should not be read as a valid poverty measure. Families should weigh these numbers alongside the school's small size and ask staff directly about supports for attendance and math.
