Summary

South Shore Elementary School is a public K–5 school in Albany, Oregon, serving 356 students as part of the Greater Albany Public School District 8J.

In 2025–2026, South Shore Elementary School ranked 642nd of 709 Oregon elementary schools (9th percentile, 0 stars), placing it in the bottom decile — even though its district ranks 50th of 141 districts statewide. Test scores trail district and state averages: ELA 24.1% proficient (district 47.8%, state 43.8%), math 19.0% (district 32.1%, state 32.9%), and science 18.4% (district 31.7%, state 30.6%). Nearby schools generally fare better. North Albany Elementary School (87th percentile), Liberty Elementary School (72nd), Oak Elementary School (62nd) and Central Elementary School (60th) outperform South Shore in every subject — North Albany's ELA proficiency is 67.9% versus 24.1% here. South Shore's results are closer to other south Albany schools such as Waverly Elementary School, Lafayette Elementary School, Periwinkle Elementary School and Sunrise Elementary School.

Attendance is a relative strength: chronic absenteeism is 30.2%, better than the district (34.8%) and state (33.5%), so low scores are not simply an attendance problem. About 80.34% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, and per-student spending is $16,110 — lower than most nearby schools despite high need. English learner students (19th percentile) and low-income students (17th percentile) rank well below the school average, but in 2023–2024 those groups performed at or above state average and the school reached the 33rd percentile overall. That year shows stronger outcomes are possible here.

I think the teachers and staff at south shore are wonderful and dedicated to our students. The dual immersion program is amazing, and my daughter has benefited greatly from it. Close Quote
