Summary

Central Linn Elementary School in Halsey, OR, is a public K–6 school serving 241 students in the Central Linn School District 552, a rural Willamette Valley community with nearby comparison schools mostly 8 to 14 miles away in Harrisburg, Monroe, Tangent, Junction City, Corvallis, and Lebanon. In 2025–26 it ranked 443rd of 709 Oregon elementary schools (38th percentile, 2 stars), below its district’s 48th percentile, continuing a long slide from 73rd percentile and 4 stars in 2016–17 to the bottom half since 2022–23. All-grade ELA is 35.4% vs. district 36.5% and state 43.8%; math is 31.7% vs. district 29.8% and state 32.9%; science is 19.4% vs. district 30.3% and state 30.6%. Chronic absenteeism is 41.7%, above the state’s 33.5%.

Fifth grade is the clearest pressure point. In 2025–26, 5th grade ELA was 22.6% vs. state 47.1%, 5th grade math was 19.4% vs. state 32.4%, and 5th grade science was 19.4% vs. state 30.8%. Because science is tested in grade 5, the low all-grade science score is really a 5th grade concern. Math is comparatively stronger: 6th grade math is above state and 3rd grade math is essentially at state. Among nearby schools, only Monroe Grade School and Green Acres School rank lower overall, while higher performers include Sand Ridge Charter School (86th percentile), Adams Elementary School (72nd), Laurel Elementary School (61st), Inavale Community Partners dba Muddy Creek Charter School (57th), Cascades School (54th), and Tangent Elementary School (52nd).

Resources and student needs overlap. The student-teacher ratio is 21.2, the highest among nearby schools, up from 14.6 in 2022–23, while per-student spending is $19,702, mid-to-high locally. Free/reduced lunch is 77.59%, and chronic absenteeism is 41.7%. Most higher-performing nearby schools had absenteeism around 21–28%. Subgroup effectiveness also varies: female students ranked 51st percentile (3 stars), male students 28th percentile (1 star), and low-socioeconomic students 46th percentile (2 stars). The school’s combination of high poverty, high absenteeism, a high student-teacher ratio, and low science/5th-grade outcomes creates multiple overlapping challenges rather than one isolated weakness.
