Summary

Dry Hollow Elementary School is a public elementary school in The Dalles, Oregon, serving 422 students in grades K-5 and part of the North Wasco County School District 21. Despite the district's overall low ranking, Dry Hollow stands out as a relatively high-performing school, consistently outpacing the district and state in standardized test scores, particularly for certain student subgroups.

Dry Hollow's 5th-grade students achieved 57.4% proficiency in English Language Arts and 39.7% in Mathematics, significantly higher than the district's 40.5% and 28% respectively, as well as the state's 46.7% and 31.3%. The school also ranks highly for Hispanic students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, earning 4-star ratings in these categories. Additionally, Dry Hollow ranks 2nd out of 14 Oregon elementary schools for Migrant students, with a 5-star rating.

While Dry Hollow faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, a common issue in the district, the school's performance is notably stronger than its neighboring schools, such as Chenowith Elementary School and Colonel Wright Elementary School, which have significantly lower test scores and overall rankings. However, the district's limited resources and low overall ranking suggest that Dry Hollow may be operating with fewer resources compared to higher-performing districts, and addressing equity gaps for underperforming student groups could be an area of focus for the school and district.
