Summary:

Canby School District 86 is a mid-sized Oregon district with 8 schools—6 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high—serving 4,134 students in and around Canby. It ranks 64th of 141 districts, in the 55th percentile with 3 stars. All-grade proficiency is ELA 39.5%, math 28.5%, and science 29.9%, versus state rates of 43.8%, 32.9%, and 30.6%. Canby High School enrolls 1,402 students (about 33.9% of the district), and elementary/K-8 schools enroll 2,200 (about 53.2%).

Bright spots include Ninety-One School, the clearest standout: 70th percentile, 4 stars, highest district ELA (50.3%) and math (43.5%), science 34.3%, and lowest chronic absenteeism (21.4%). Howard Eccles Elementary School improved to the 54th percentile with ELA 45.1%, science 36.5%, and fifth-grade ELA 58%. Carus School is 55th percentile with math 36.2%, ELA 44.7%, and strong third-grade results. Canby High School has a 90.8% graduation rate, above Oregon’s 83.0%, and above-state 11th-grade math and science, but 11th-grade ELA is 32.3% versus 46.0% statewide. Conversely, Cecile Trost Elementary School is lowest-ranked (17th percentile, 1 star), with ELA 29.9%, math 17.6%, and science 18.2%.

Philander Lee Elementary School ranks 23rd percentile with 1 star and declined from 42nd percentile in 2023-2024; despite the district’s highest free/reduced lunch rate (76.34%) and spending ($22,873), its ELA is 32.1%, math 20.4%, and science 17.5%, with fifth-grade math at 5%. William Knight Elementary School is 42nd percentile with science 20.6% and chronic absenteeism 34.0%. Baker Prairie Middle School is 37th percentile, improved from 24th, but math is 23.6%. District-wide, math is the weakest subject; only Ninety-One School and Carus School exceed the state math average. Poverty is common but outcomes vary, and higher spending does not simply align with higher proficiency. Overall, the district has a solid graduation rate and strong elementary performers, but math, high-school ELA, and gaps at Cecile Trost Elementary School and Philander Lee Elementary School are key concerns.
