Summary:
Elementary schools in Myrtle Point School District 41 serve students in kindergarten through 5th grade, and the district has just one elementary school: Myrtle Crest School in Myrtle Point, Oregon. It enrolls 271 students, a small-school setting with a student-teacher ratio of 16.9 and per-student spending of $23,378 for 2024–2025. Because it is the only elementary school in the district, there are no side-by-side school comparisons here; the meaningful benchmarks are the district and Oregon state figures. Notably, 95.2% of students were eligible for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, one of the most important pieces of context for reading any of the academic results below.
On state assessments for 2025–2026, Myrtle Crest's clearest relative strength is math: 27.9% of students were proficient in All Grades Mathematics, above the district's 21.7% but below Oregon's 32.9%. English Language Arts came in at 31.2%, matching the district exactly and 12.6 points below the state's 43.8%. Science was 26.2%, against 30.6% statewide. By grade, ELA ranged from 29.4% in 4th grade to 33.3% in 5th grade, while 5th grade math was the lowest result at 19.5% versus 32.4% statewide. The smallest gap to the state was 5th grade science, at 4.6 percentage points.
Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern: 37.5% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, slightly below the district's 38.0% but 4.0 points above Oregon's 33.5%. Statewide rankings have shifted over time — the school placed 530 of 710 in 2023–2024, improved to 440 of 706 with 2 stars in 2024–2025, then fell to 526 of 709 with a 26th percentile and 1 star in 2025–2026. The district itself ranks 100 of 141 with 1 star. Overall, this is a high-poverty, comparatively high-spending school with proficiency below state levels across all reported subjects and absenteeism above the state average.
