Summary:
Clatskanie School District 6J is served by a single elementary school — Clatskanie Elementary School — which enrolls 387 students in grades K–6 in the town of Clatskanie, Oregon. Because it is the only elementary campus in the Clatskanie School District 6J, its grade-level results are also the district's results for those grades, so the most useful comparisons for parents are between this school and Oregon averages rather than another local school.
Academically, results are mixed. Overall, 36.4% of students met standards in English language arts (ELA), compared with 43.8% statewide; math was 21.9% versus 32.9% statewide; and science was 19.0% versus 30.6% statewide. Sixth grade ELA is the strongest bright spot at 41.4%, essentially matching Oregon's 41.8%, and 3rd grade ELA at 37.8% is close to the state's 41.5%. The weakest areas are math in the upper grades — 5th grade math at 16.7% versus 32.4% statewide, and 6th grade math at just 8.8% versus 29.7% — along with 4th grade ELA at 24.6% compared with 43.5% statewide. In 2025–2026 the school ranked 517th out of 709 schools, at the 27th percentile with a 1-star rating, down from 2 stars in each of the two prior years.
Context figures offer some balance. Chronic absenteeism is 29.9%, below the district's 30.3% and the state's 33.5% — a relative strength, though it still means roughly three in ten students miss too much school. The school reports a free/reduced lunch rate of 80.1%, per-student spending of $18,160, and a student–teacher ratio of 17.3. The district as a whole ranks 94th out of 141, at the 33rd percentile with 2 stars. Overall, the school's profile shows better-than-state attendance and near-state 6th grade reading, but clear room to grow in math, science, and 4th grade reading.
