Summary

Clatskanie Elementary School is a K–6 school serving 387 students at 815 S Nehalem St in Clatskanie, Oregon, a small town in the lower Columbia River region, and it is part of Clatskanie School District 6J. For 2025–2026, the school ranks 517th of 709 Oregon elementary schools (27th percentile, 1 star), down from a recent high of 63rd percentile (3 stars) in 2021–2022, and it has trended mostly downward since.

Academically, Clatskanie is below the Oregon average in all three tested subjects: 36.4% in English language arts vs. 43.8% statewide, 21.9% in math vs. 32.9%, and 19% in science vs. 30.6%. Compared with nearby schools, it sits in the middle: ahead of Hudson Park Elementary School in Rainier in both ELA and math, but behind Vernonia Elementary School. Results vary a lot by grade. Fifth and sixth grade ELA are relative bright spots (41.7% and 41.4%), but fourth grade ELA is just 24.6%, far below the state. Math is the biggest concern: sixth grade math is only 8.8%, compared with 29.7% statewide, and Clatskanie leads its nearby peers in fourth and fifth grade math only because those peer scores are even lower. Mist Elementary School posts very high proficiency numbers, but with only 31 students and many suppressed scores, it is not a reliable comparison.

Attendance is a genuine strength: chronic absenteeism was 29.9% in 2024–2025, below the state's 33.5% and much lower than Vernonia, Hudson Park, and Mist. The school also ranks comparatively well for low-income students (73rd percentile) and special education students (58th percentile), even though its overall rank is low. That context matters: 80.1% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and per-student spending is $18,160, the lowest among nearby schools.
