Oregon Department of Education


Summary:

The Oregon Department of Education oversees a diverse set of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 0 middle schools, 0 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. These schools serve students across the state and provide a range of educational opportunities.

Two schools stand out as high-performing: The Cottonwood School of Civics and Science and The Ivy School. The Cottonwood School consistently scores well above state and district averages on state assessments, particularly in science, and is ranked among the top 25% of Oregon elementary schools. The Ivy School also excels in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with impressive 7th and 8th grade performance.

In contrast, Four Rivers Community School has mixed performance, with some grade levels scoring above the state and district, while others are below. The school also has the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 152.49%, indicating a high-need student population. Across all schools, chronic absenteeism rates are significantly higher than the state average, which is a concern that the Oregon Department of Education will need to address.
