Hood River County School District

The Hood River County School District consists of 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving students in the Hood River County area. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, with Westside Elementary School standing out as the top-performing school in the district, while WyEast Middle School and Cascade Locks School face challenges.

Westside Elementary School is the clear standout, ranking 46th out of 706 elementary schools in Oregon and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. It boasts the highest test scores in the district, with over 70% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and math. In contrast, Mid Valley Elementary and WyEast Middle School struggle, with the lowest test scores in the district, particularly in math and science.

The data also reveals a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, with the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, Mid Valley Elementary and WyEast Middle School, also having the lowest test scores. Additionally, the student-teacher ratio at May Street Elementary is the highest in the district, which could be a factor in its relatively lower test scores compared to other elementary schools.
