In 2025–2026, North Plains Elementary School ranks 239th of 709 Oregon elementary schools — the 66th percentile, 3 stars — which places it above its district's average but below the strongest nearby schools.

North Plains outperforms W Verne McKinney Elementary School, West Union Elementary School, Mooberry Elementary School, Lincoln Street Elementary School, Eastwood Elementary School, and Cornelius Elementary School in all three subjects. Results vary by grade: 5th-grade ELA (64.0%) and science (42.9%) and 3rd-grade math (59.0%) are strong, while 4th-grade ELA (38.7%) falls below district and state, and 6th-grade math (31.6%) is above both but still low.

Friday, August 22, 2014

The 2-star rating is a mistake. If you look at the math scores, the average was 83.7% passing the OAKS test. The write-up says 58%.

Having been a parent of three children at this school, I can tell you the teachers are all dedicated, qualified and hard-working. The community is close-knit and for a rural school, we have exceptional families. I am disappointed in this website. For parents looking for decent schools, these sites promise to provide unbiased information. Please, check your figures and amend your mistake! Close Quote
