Summary

Amity Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Amity, Oregon, serving 319 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Amity School District 4J, which is ranked 124 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Amity Elementary School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.6% to 39.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are generally below the state and district averages, with only 24% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 40.3%. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and students with special education needs tending to perform worse than their peers. Amity Elementary School also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.17% to 54.55% in recent years, indicating a relatively high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby schools, Amity Elementary School generally underperforms. For example, Wascher Elementary School, located about 9.8 miles away, consistently outperforms Amity Elementary in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates across grade levels. Despite the increased per-student spending at Amity Elementary School, from $14,025 in 2021-2022 to $16,211 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average, the school's academic outcomes have not shown significant improvement. Addressing the challenges faced by Amity Elementary School, such as improving student engagement, attendance, and academic achievement, should be a priority for the school and district.
