Summary

TRAILS Outdoor School is a K–8 public school in Ashland, Oregon, serving 157 students at 158 Walker Ave. as part of Ashland School District 5, one of Oregon's highest-ranked districts. Even so, TRAILS ranks 208th of 709 schools statewide in 2025–2026 (71st percentile, 4 stars), down from the 95th percentile in 2016–2017. Note that nearby Ashland elementaries serve grades K–5 while TRAILS serves K–8, so all-grade comparisons aren't perfectly equivalent.

In English language arts, TRAILS is close to its district and well above the state: 66.3% proficiency versus 67.5% district and 43.8% state. Math is 50.0%, slightly behind the district (53.5%) but above the state (32.9%). Science is the clearest gap at 37.9%, about 10 points below the district (48.3%) and 31.9 points below Bellview Elementary School. Among Ashland schools, TRAILS trails Bellview and Helman Elementary School in all three subjects and trails Walker Elementary School in math and science. Grade-level results vary widely: 4th-grade ELA (88.2%), 6th- and 8th-grade math (64.3%) and 8th-grade science (64.3%) are strong, while 5th grade is weak throughout (ELA 40%, math 26.7%, science 13.3%) and 7th grade falls below district averages. Third-grade ELA and math are suppressed by the state, likely because the group is too small; with roughly 17 students per grade, percentages swing easily.

Chronic absenteeism is the sharpest concern: 35.5% in 2024–2025, above the district (29.5%) and state (33.5%) and far above Helman (12.0%), Bellview (20.1%) and Walker (21.4%). The student-teacher ratio rose to 17.2 from 14.4–14.6 in 2022–2024, the highest among the Ashland comparison schools. Per-student spending is $20,939, mid-range locally, and free/reduced lunch eligibility climbed to 61.15% from about 39–41%. Most Medford and Phoenix-Talent schools score lower with higher poverty; Hoover Elementary School in Medford is the exception (64.9% ELA, 63.4% math, 70.1% science).

It's a great school for younger kids, but once your child gets into the older grades, I recommend going to the middle school instead. Marcia, the only teacher of the 7,8th grade is not capable of teaching all the subjects at that level. She picks favorites and contributes to the bullying that happens in her class by calling names and making fun of students. If she likes your kid, the will most likely do well. But, every year, there are a few she doesn't like and it is always a problem with very little help from the administration. Close Quote
