Summary:

The Neah-Kah-Nie School District 56 in Oregon is home to two elementary schools: Nehalem Elementary School and Garibaldi Elementary School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade in the coastal region of the state.

Based on the available data, Nehalem Elementary School emerges as the standout school in the district. It consistently ranks higher than Garibaldi Elementary School in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings, with a ranking of 167 out of 706 Oregon elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, compared to Garibaldi's ranking of 403 out of 706. Nehalem Elementary School also outperforms Garibaldi Elementary and the overall Neah-Kah-Nie School District in terms of test scores, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels.

However, both schools face challenges, such as high rates of chronic absenteeism, with 34.3% of students at each school being chronically absent. Additionally, while Garibaldi Elementary School has a higher per-student spending of $33,001 compared to Nehalem's $25,987, this higher funding does not seem to translate into better academic performance. The district may need to investigate the factors contributing to the performance gap and implement strategies to support all students in achieving academic success.
