Summary:
Lowell School District 71 is a small Oregon district serving about 1,038 students across four schools — two elementary schools, one junior/senior high school, and one K–12 alternative school — and it ranks 58th of 141 districts statewide, in the 59th percentile with 3 stars. Enrollment is heavily concentrated at Bridge Charter Academy, which has 546 students in grades K–12, while Lowell Junior/Senior High School (grades 7–12), Lundy Elementary School (K–6), and Mountain View Academy (K–8) each enroll roughly 140–180 students.
Academically, the two elementaries lead. Lundy Elementary School posts the district's highest all-grade proficiency in both ELA (54.5%) and math (39.6%), above district and state averages, and improved to 66th percentile and 3 stars. Mountain View Academy pairs solid ELA (52.2%) and math (35.9%) with the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 24.8%. Bridge Charter Academy has a split profile: 11th grade ELA (61.1%), math (38.9%), and science (64%) are all above district and state, and its all-grade science (37.3%) is the district's best, but all-grade ELA (39.8%) and math (29.8%) fall below district and state.
Lowell Junior/Senior High School shows the sharpest contrast: the highest graduation rate in the district (90.0%, above the state's 83.0%) alongside the lowest all-grade ELA (29.6%), math (12.7%), and science (10.0%), the highest chronic absenteeism (39.2%), and a 1-star, 10th percentile rank. District-wide, science is the clearest shared weakness — 25.3% proficient versus 30.6% statewide — and grade 5 math is a low point at every school. Spending and staffing also vary widely, from about $3,430 to $21,481 per student and student-teacher ratios of 12.2 to 27.3.
