Summary:
The Willamina School District 30J in Oregon is home to a single elementary school, Willamina Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has consistently struggled to meet state proficiency standards, ranking in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools.
Willamina Elementary School's academic performance is significantly below the state averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science all lagging behind. In the 2024-2025 school year, the 5th-grade proficiency rates were just 27.3% in ELA and 10.9% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 46.7% and 31.3%, respectively. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, at 34.3% in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $18,498 in the 2022-2023 school year, Willamina Elementary School continues to struggle, suggesting that the district or school may not be effectively allocating resources to address the specific needs of its students. With a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which can have a significant impact on student learning and achievement.
