Summary:
Nestucca Valley School District 101J has one elementary-level school in this data set: Nestucca K8 in Cloverdale, Oregon, serving grades PK–8 with 336 students. Because it is the only elementary school in the district, there is no within-district comparison to make; the useful comparisons are against district averages, state averages, and statewide rankings. The district ranks 123rd of 141 in Oregon, in the 13th percentile with 1 star.
Nestucca K8 ranks 654th of 709 Oregon schools in 2025–26, in the 8th percentile with 0 stars, after 655th of 706 (0 stars) in 2024–25 and 577th of 710 (1 star) in 2023–24. Proficiency is below the state in every subject across all grades: ELA 23.1% versus 43.8%, math 13.4% versus 32.9%, and science 10.7% versus 30.6% — gaps of roughly 20 percentage points each. Grade-level results show 5th grade as the clearest weak point: ELA 5.9% versus 47.1% statewide, with math and science both under 5% against state rates of 32.4% and 30.8%. The strongest result is 8th grade ELA at 32.5%, about 9 points below the state. Math is weak at every grade; the highest is 7th grade at 19%, still below the state's 33.3%, and 8th grade math is 7.5%.
Context matters here. Free/reduced lunch eligibility is 93.75%, meaning nearly all students are economically disadvantaged by that measure. Chronic absenteeism is 34.1% — slightly above the state's 33.5% and below the district's 36.9% — so roughly one in three students is chronically absent. Per-student spending is high at $22,926, with a student-teacher ratio of 17.6:1. Families should note that high spending and a moderate class size coexist here with low proficiency and a bottom-8% statewide ranking, which is the central tension in this school's data.
