Elementary Schools in Hood River County School District

Summary:

The Hood River County School District in Oregon is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools vary in their academic performance, with Westside Elementary School consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state and Mid Valley Elementary School and Parkdale Elementary School performing below the district and state averages.

Westside Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, with a statewide ranking between 46-65 over the past 3 years and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. It boasts strong test scores, with 60-73% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Mid Valley Elementary School and Parkdale Elementary School have statewide rankings in the 300s-500s and lower proficiency rates on standardized tests.

Across the district, there are some concerning trends, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of around 34% and significant disparities in spending per student, ranging from $18,944 at May Street Elementary School to $25,933 at Cascade Locks School. The higher-spending schools tend to have lower performance, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving outcomes. However, the student-teacher ratio appears to be a relevant factor, with the lower-performing schools tending to have higher ratios.
