Summary

Aumsville Elementary School is a K–5 school in Aumsville, Oregon, a small town east of Salem, serving 576 students as part of Cascade School District 5.

The school is in a high-performing district but is itself middle of the pack: it ranks 376th of 709 Oregon elementary schools (47th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–26, while its district ranks 21st of 141 (85th percentile, 4 stars). The most striking comparison is within the same district. Cloverdale Elementary School and Turner Elementary School serve nearly identical student populations on the poverty measure — free/reduced lunch around 63–64% — yet the school trails Cloverdale Elementary School by 17.7 points in English language arts and 18.9 points in math. The school also has higher chronic absenteeism (27.5%) than the district (22.1%) and those same-district peers. Spending is not the obvious explanation: the school spends $18,935 per student, up 24% in four years, while Sublimity School spends less ($15,885) and ranks in the 85th percentile. This suggests the school’s constraints are instructional or organizational rather than budget-related.

There are real strengths and clear concerns. Low-income students (70th percentile) and special-education students (68th percentile) rank above the school’s overall 47th percentile and have improved for three straight years. English language learners are the weakest group, at the 28th percentile, and a new gender gap has appeared: female students rank 62nd percentile while male students rank 32nd. Performance also fades in later grades: third graders are near or above the state in ELA and math, but by fifth grade math falls to 28.6% and science to 29.5%, both slightly below state. Chronic absenteeism has improved by 11.1 points since its 2022–23 peak and is now better than the state, though still worse than the district. It has climbed from the 20th percentile in 2016–17 to a stable 45th–48th percentile band since 2021–22; the remaining challenge is reaching the level of its district peers.
