Summary:
McNary Heights Elementary School is the only elementary school in Umatilla School District 6R: a K–3 school with 642 students at 120 Columbia Ave in Umatilla, Oregon, which means this single school is the entire elementary picture for the district.
In 2024–25, McNary Heights Elementary School ranked 636th of 706 Oregon elementary schools — the 10th percentile, with 1 star. That is an improvement over 2023–24 (686th of 710, 3rd percentile, 0 stars) and 2022–23 (681st of 706, 4th percentile, 0 stars), but the school remains in the bottom decile. Its all-grade English language arts proficiency is 22.8%, compared with 15.6% for the district and 43.8% statewide; all-grade math is 15.0%, versus 11.5% for the district and 32.9% statewide. At grade 3, the school matches the district exactly in both ELA (22.8%) and math (15.0%), while the state is at 41.5% and 41.3%. A grade-5 science result of 9.3% (state: 30.4%) falls outside this K–3 school's grade span and should be read with caution.
Chronic absenteeism is 33.5% — identical to the state rate and just 0.5 percentage points above the district — though that still represents roughly 215 students. The reported free/reduced-lunch figure of 107.17% exceeds what a simple share of enrollment can mean, but it signals near-universal economic need. Per-student spending is $19,600, and the 16.3:1 student-teacher ratio works out to roughly 39–40 teachers for 642 students, or about 160.5 students per grade. The district overall ranks 140th of 141 in Oregon, at the 1st percentile with 0 stars. In short: a relatively large K–3 school with high reported need and substantial spending that performs above its district's all-grade averages but far below state averages, especially in math and science.
