Summary

Hilda Lahti Elementary School is a public school located in Astoria, Oregon, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 306 students. The school is part of the Knappa School District 4, which is ranked 102 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($22,348 in 2022-2023), Hilda Lahti Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with a ranking between 452 and 658 out of 695-710 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments (OSAS) is also significantly below the state average, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics ranging from 10-35%, compared to the state averages of 40-47%. Additionally, the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.7% to 38.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to the nearby Pacific Ridge Elementary School and Warrenton Grade School, Hilda Lahti Elementary School generally underperforms on state assessments, despite having a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's resource allocation and the effectiveness of its interventions may need to be evaluated to address the persistent academic struggles and high chronic absenteeism rates.
