Summary:
Sutherlin School District 130 is a small Oregon district with two elementary schools serving 530 students: East Sutherlin Primary School for grades PK–2 (246 students) and West Sutherlin Intermediate for grades 3–5 (284 students). The district ranks 127th of 141 Oregon districts, at the 10th percentile with 1 star — a bottom-decile position. Because East serves only PK–2, it has no OSAS test scores in this data, which reflects its grade span rather than its performance; West is the only tested elementary school here.
West Sutherlin Intermediate's results are below state averages in every tested subject for 2025–2026: 28.9% proficient in ELA (state 43.8%), 18.5% in math (state 32.9%), and 14.8% in science (state 30.6%). Math weakens as students advance — 26.6% in 3rd grade, 18.1% in 4th, and 11.1% in 5th, where the gap to the state is 21.3 points. Its rank history is consistently low: 1 star each year, with the percentile falling from 17 in 2024–2025 to 12 in 2025–2026 (rank 625 of 709).
East Sutherlin Primary has the stronger resource and attendance profile: chronic absenteeism of 29.5%, below both the district's 34.1% and the state's 33.5%, compared with West's 33.3%. East's student-teacher ratio is 11.0 versus West's 16.1, and East spends $21,050 per student — 27.1% more than West's $16,562 — despite a higher free/reduced lunch rate (69.51% vs. 64.79%). Parents can compare attendance, staffing, spending, and enrollment, but not academics, since only West has test data.
