Elementary Schools in Phoenix-Talent School District 4

Summary:

The Phoenix-Talent School District 4 in Oregon is home to four elementary schools: Talent Elementary School, Phoenix Elementary School, Orchard Hill Elementary School, and Phoenix-Talent Rising Academy. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and face a range of challenges and successes.

Among the district's schools, Talent Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 307 out of 706 Oregon elementary schools in 2024-2025. It boasts the district's highest test scores, with 50% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 54.2% proficient or better in Mathematics. Orchard Hill Elementary School also performs well, ranking 303 out of 706 and having the highest 5th-grade English Language Arts proficiency at 63.6%. Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their academic success.

However, the district faces significant challenges, with all schools reporting high chronic absenteeism rates of 34.3% in 2023-2024. Additionally, Phoenix Elementary School and Phoenix-Talent Rising Academy have significantly lower test scores compared to the district and state averages. The high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 76.24% to 84.37%, suggest that the schools serve predominantly low-income student populations, which may contribute to the academic challenges observed.
