Summary:

The Greater Albany Public School District 8J in Oregon is home to 13 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The district encompasses a diverse range of communities, with schools exhibiting varying levels of academic performance and student demographics.

Among the standout schools in the district, Oak Grove Elementary School consistently ranks as one of the top-performing elementary schools in the state, with exceptional test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics. North Albany Elementary School and Liberty Elementary School also demonstrate strong academic achievement, with test scores well above the district and state averages.

While some schools excel, others, such as Sunrise Elementary School and Waverly Elementary School, struggle with lower test scores. Additionally, the district as a whole faces a concerning issue of high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be an area requiring further investigation and targeted interventions.
