Summary:
Douglas County School District 4, serving the Roseburg, Oregon area, includes eight elementary schools — five serving K–5 and three serving PK–5 — enrolling 2,484 students, about 311 per school, ranging from 238 at Fir Grove Elementary School to 394 at Hucrest Elementary School. The Douglas County School District 4 ranks 49 of 141 districts statewide (65th percentile, 3 stars), but every school in this group is high-poverty, with free/reduced lunch between 73.0% and 88.9%, averaging 83.3%.
Two schools stand out. Melrose Elementary School earns 5 stars and ranks 58 of roughly 709 Oregon elementaries (92nd percentile) — the best here — beating the state in all 10 reported test cells, with ELA 64.7%, Math 66.0% and Science 56.5%, despite having the highest poverty rate (87.75%) and the lowest chronic absenteeism (22.5%). Hucrest Elementary School follows at 4 stars and rank 132 (81st percentile), also beating the state in all 10 cells, while spending the second-least per student ($18,284) and carrying the largest classes (16.5:1). Fir Grove Elementary School is climbing (43rd to 48th percentile) with science a genuine strength at 39.5%, and Green Elementary School posted the biggest single-year jump (+107 places) but still sits near the state median.
At the other end, Winchester Elementary ranks 570 of 709 (20th percentile), has the lowest ELA (30.1%) and Math (23.1%), the highest chronic absenteeism (38.6%) and earned 0 stars. Eastwood Elementary School declined from rank 421 to 510 over three years, with a 28.5-point ELA gap between its 4th and 5th grades. Fullerton IV Elementary School has the lowest poverty (73.04%) yet ranks only 34th percentile with the lowest math score (21.8%). Across the eight schools, math averages 36.2% versus ELA 42.6%. The clearest pattern: poverty, spending levels and class sizes do not track with outcomes here — school-level practice appears to be the differentiator.
