Summary:
The Crow-Applegate-Lorane School District 66 in Oregon is home to a single elementary school, Applegate Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 511 out of 710 Oregon elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 457 out of 706 in 2024-2025, earning it 2-star and 1-star ratings, respectively.
Applegate Elementary School faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the state averages across all grade levels, with the 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate at just 15.8% in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 40.3%. Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $22,931 in the 2022-2023 school year, its academic performance remains below the district and state averages.
While the data does not provide the specific free/reduced lunch rate for Applegate Elementary School, the high chronic absenteeism rate suggests the school may serve a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school's student-teacher ratio of 15.9 in the 2023-2024 school year is slightly lower than the state average, but this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Overall, the data indicates that Applegate Elementary School is a struggling school within the Crow-Applegate-Lorane School District, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the specific challenges facing the school and improve student performance.
