Summary:
The Philomath School District 17J in Oregon is home to three elementary schools: Philomath Elementary School, Clemens Primary School, and Blodgett Elementary School. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and provide a range of educational opportunities within the district.
Among the three schools, Philomath Elementary School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking higher than the other two schools in the state-wide School Digger rankings. In the 2024-2025 school year, Philomath Elementary School earned a 4-star rating and ranked 179 out of 706 Oregon elementary schools, demonstrating strong academic performance with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages.
While all three schools face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, the data reveals some interesting insights. Blodgett Elementary School has the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 51.43%, and its test scores are lower compared to the district and state, particularly in Mathematics. Conversely, Clemens Primary School has the highest spending per student and the lowest student-teacher ratio, but these factors do not necessarily translate to better academic performance when compared to Philomath Elementary School.
