Summary:
The David Douglas School District 40 in Oregon is home to 10 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The schools vary significantly in size, with student populations ranging from 155 to 478 students. While the district as a whole faces challenges, a few standout schools demonstrate strong academic performance and resource allocation.
Arthur Academy, a public charter school, consistently ranks among the top 137 elementary schools in Oregon, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. Menlo Park Elementary School also stands out, with the highest spending per student at $35,787 and above-average proficiency rates. Cherry Park Elementary School has the highest student population and performs above the district average in most academic areas, earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance and resource allocation across the district. Some schools, such as Gilbert Park Elementary and Lincoln Park Elementary, have proficiency rates well below the state average in core subjects. The district as a whole faces challenges, including high percentages of economically disadvantaged students and chronic absenteeism, which likely contribute to the overall lower academic performance compared to state averages.
