Summary:
Oakridge Elementary School is the only elementary school in Oakridge School District 76, serving grades K–6 in Oakridge, OR with 280 students, so parents here have one public elementary option rather than a set of schools to compare. The district overall is ranked 57 of 141 (60th percentile) with 3 stars, but the elementary school is ranked 541 of 709 (24th percentile) with 1 star in 2025–2026, and it has been a 1-star school for each of the last three years (percentiles 21, 29, and 24). That gap may reflect that the district ranking includes other schools or grade levels outside this elementary list.
For context, the school reports 96.07% free/reduced lunch, $26,739 per-student spending, a 14.6 student-teacher ratio, and 38.8% chronic absenteeism—above the district’s 38.1% and Oregon’s 33.5%. In 2025–2026 OSAS results, all-grade proficiency trails the state in ELA (28.6% vs 43.8%), math (22.7% vs 32.9%), and science (23.5% vs 30.6%). There are bright spots: 4th grade math is 41.7%, above the state’s 38.9%, while 4th grade ELA (37.8% vs 43.5%) and 5th grade ELA (42.9% vs 47.1%) are relatively close to state averages. Weak spots are concentrated in 3rd and 6th grade: 6th grade ELA is 13.8% vs 41.8%, 3rd grade math is 15.4% vs 41.3%, 3rd grade ELA is 16% vs 41.5%, and 6th grade math is 10.3% vs 29.7%.
Overall, parents should see the school as a high-need, comparatively well-funded school with persistently low rankings and uneven grade-level results. The data covers one elementary school, test scores are from 2025–2026, and spending, absenteeism, lunch, and staffing figures are from 2024–2025; there are no prior-year subject-level scores here, so these figures describe patterns rather than causes. The strongest relative results are in 4th grade math and, to a lesser degree, 4th and 5th grade ELA, while 3rd and 6th grade ELA and math are the clearest areas of concern. Because only one elementary school is listed, there are no within-district elementary comparisons to make.
