Summary

Prairie Mountain School is an elementary school located in Eugene, Oregon, serving 572 students in grades K-8. The school is part of the Bethel School District 52, which is ranked 117 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Prairie Mountain School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 29.0% to 38.1% over the past few years, which are much higher than the state average. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the Bethel School District 52 and the state of Oregon averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the 5th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate at Prairie Mountain School was 23.7%, compared to 36.3% for the district and 46.7% for the state, while the 5th grade Mathematics proficiency rate was only 7.1%, compared to 18% for the district and 31.3% for the state.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the Eugene School District 4J, such as Yujin Gakuen Elementary School and Chinese Language Immersion School, demonstrate significantly higher academic achievement, with proficiency rates well above the state averages. This suggests that the challenges faced by Prairie Mountain School and other Bethel School District 52 schools may be systemic and related to factors beyond the individual school level.

37 kids in a classroom is unacceptable....these kids are getting cheated out of a good learning environment and the teacher is just a glorified babysitter who can't teach when they have way to many kids. Close Quote
