Summary

South Wasco County Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Maupin, Oregon, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 84 students. The school is part of the South Wasco County School District 1, which is ranked 94 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

South Wasco County Elementary School has consistently underperformed the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across grades 3-5 over the past few years. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 18.2% compared to the state average of 40.3%, and its 5th grade Math proficiency was 10% compared to the state average of 31.3%. The school has also experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 34.3% to 52.5% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average.

Despite relatively high per-student spending of $27,393 in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state average, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.7 to 16.9 in recent years. This may impact the quality of instruction and individual attention students receive. Additionally, the school's performance, as measured by its statewide ranking, has declined over the years, dropping from a high of 174th out of 706 Oregon elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 433rd out of 706 in 2024-2025, suggesting the school may be facing challenges in maintaining or improving its academic outcomes.
