Summary:
Elementary Schools in Coquille School District 8 consist of three schools serving different grade spans: Lincoln School of Early Learning (PK–1), Coquille Valley Elementary (grades 2–6), and Winter Lakes Elementary (K–8). Together they enroll 618 students. The district is ranked 82nd of 141 in Oregon, at the 42nd percentile with 2 stars, but that overall profile hides sharp differences between its schools.
Coquille Valley Elementary is the largest school, with 346 students, about 56% of the group, and is the clear academic standout. It has held a 4-star rating with 73rd–80th percentile rankings, and its all-grade proficiency beats both the district and the state in ELA (55.2%), math (51.9%), and science (40.7%). Its math results are especially strong, 19 points above the state. Chronic absenteeism is 32.9%, below the state rate of 33.5% and far below the district's 46.7%, even though 87.57% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Winter Lakes Elementary, with 106 students, is the lowest performer: 0 stars, 2nd percentile statewide, with 19.1% ELA, 5.9% math, and 3rd grade math under 5%. Grades 7–8 ELA and math and 8th grade science are suppressed by the state and should be treated as unknown rather than as zeros. Its chronic absenteeism is 44.3%. Lincoln School of Early Learning has no test scores because it serves only PK–1, but it has the highest chronic absenteeism at 70.3% and the highest per-student spending at $24,009; its reported free/reduced lunch figure of 118.07% exceeds 100% and likely reflects a reporting artifact, though economic need is clearly high.
