Elementary Schools in North Clackamas School District 12

Summary:

The North Clackamas School District 12 in Oregon is home to 19 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 54 out of 140 school districts in the state and has a 3 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Several schools in the district stand out as high-performing, including Scouters Mountain Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Oregon, and Spring Mountain Elementary School and View Acres Elementary School, which have also seen strong academic performance. Meanwhile, other schools like Whitcomb Elementary struggle with proficiency rates in the single digits for English Language Arts and Mathematics.

The data suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with schools serving higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch generally performing worse. Additionally, the district as a whole faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be impacting overall student achievement. Adequate funding also appears to be a key factor, as the schools with the highest per-student spending tend to have the strongest academic outcomes.
