Summary
Sams Valley Elementary School is a K–5 elementary school with 227 students on Table Rock Road in Central Point, Oregon, part of Central Point School District 6. In 2025–2026 it ranked 247th of 709 Oregon elementary schools — 65th percentile, 3 stars — following 232nd of 706 (67th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025. That is a sharp rise from 2023–2024 (37th percentile, 2 stars) and 2018–2019 (15th percentile, 1 star). Its district ranks 85th of 141 districts statewide, so the school is currently outperforming its broader district context.
Academically, Sams Valley is above both its district and the state in all three tested subjects. In 2025–2026, 47.7% of students met standards in English language arts (district 41.2%, state 43.8%), 45.0% in math (district 26.1%, state 32.9%), and 33.3% in science (district 27.6%, state 30.6%). Among nearby schools with comparable data, Sams Valley has the highest all-grade results in every subject — ahead of Eagle Rock Elementary School (45.1% ELA, 43.1% math, 22.8% science) and far ahead of Table Rock Elementary School (18.8% ELA) and Hillside Elementary School. Math is the clearest strength, and it holds across grades 3, 4 and 5 rather than coming from one class. Students from low-income families also performed well: the low-SES subgroup ranked 77th percentile in 2024–2025 and 69th percentile in 2025–2026, above the school's overall percentile both years.
Chronic absenteeism is better than average but not best locally. Sams Valley's rate was 29.1% in 2024–2025, improved from 31.7% and below the district's 33.9% and the state's 33.5%. Several nearby schools did better, including Jewett Elementary School (19.3%), Patrick Elementary School (22.5%), Eagle Rock Elementary School (23.5%), Richardson Elementary School (24.6%) and Central Point Elementary School (27.5%). About 78.41% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and per-student spending was $19,166 with a student-teacher ratio of 19.3 — both high compared with nearby schools. Recent subgroup data for Hispanic, multiracial and special education students is not available, so a complete picture of how every group is doing isn't possible from these figures.
