Elementary Schools in Siuslaw School District 97J

Summary:

Siuslaw School District 97J in Oregon is home to a single elementary school, Siuslaw Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 330 out of 706 Oregon elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 476 out of 706 in 2024-2025.

Siuslaw Elementary School's academic performance is below the state average, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the rest of Oregon. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th grade proficiency rates were 33% in ELA and 17.9% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 46.7% and 31.3%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3%, which is much higher than the state average.

Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $21,734 in 2022-2023, the academic outcomes at Siuslaw Elementary School remain below par. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student performance. The school also serves a high-poverty student population, with 67.56% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges.
