Summary

Hilda Lahti Elementary School is a public K–8 school serving 293 students in the Astoria, Oregon area, part of Knappa School District 4, which ranks 128th of 141 Oregon districts. The school ranked 513th of 709 Oregon schools in 2025–2026 — its best recent showing, up from the 17th percentile in 2024–2025 and the 11th percentile in 2023–2024, though still in the 28th percentile with 1 star. It is smaller than every nearby school and the only K–8 in the group; Pacific Ridge Elementary School (K–5), Warrenton Grade School (K–5), Lewis & Clark Elementary School (3–5), and Astor Elementary School (K–2) all serve narrower grade bands.

Hilda Lahti's all-grade proficiency rates in 2025–2026 are the lowest among the compared schools with current test data: 28.5% in English language arts, 19.4% in math, and 12.3% in science, about 15, 14, and 18 points below the state. Because the school serves grades K–8 while its neighbors serve only elementary grades, grade-by-grade results are a fairer comparison. Third and fourth grade ELA (40.0% and 40.6%) are close to state averages, and 3rd grade math (35.0%) is within about 6 points. But 5th grade math is under 5%, 6th grade ELA is under 5%, and 5th grade science is 10%, far below the state's 30.8%; 6th and 7th grade math are 13.0% and 6.1%. Eighth grade math, at 33.3%, is above the state's 30.0% — the only result above state in this dataset.

Chronic absenteeism is a relative bright spot at 29.2%, lower than Oregon's 33.5%, the district's 35.3%, Pacific Ridge's 33.6%, and Warrenton's 34.4%. Meanwhile, the share of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch rose sharply from 31.51% in 2022–2023 to 67.58% in 2024–2025. Per-student spending is $18,590 and the student-teacher ratio is 14.8, neither an extreme outlier among nearby schools. Subgroup effectiveness is uneven: male students improved to the 34th percentile, female students remain at the 18th, and special education results have fluctuated.
