Summary

Whitworth Elementary School, at 1151 SE Miller Ave in Dallas, Oregon, serves only grades 4 and 5 — about 367 students — in Dallas School District 2, which ranks 60th of 141 statewide, while the school ranks 458th of 709 Oregon elementaries (35th percentile, 2 stars). About 70% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, per-student spending is $18,349 (second-lowest among 11 nearby schools), and the student-teacher ratio is 17.4-to-1. It draws from a wider base than its K-3 feeders, Oakdale Heights Elementary School and Lyle Elementary School, each of about 300 students.

On 2025-26 state tests, Whitworth trails its district on all five grade-level measures: 4th-grade ELA 25.1 vs. 32.3, 5th-grade ELA 40.4 vs. 46.4, 4th-grade math 29.0 vs. 33.2, 5th-grade math 32.3 vs. 34.4 and 5th-grade science 29.5 vs. 32.7. Its all-grades math figure (30.5) looks like it beats the district (25.8), but that district number averages every grade it tests, so it isn't a fair comparison at the grades Whitworth teaches. Fourth grade is the weak spot — 4th-grade ELA trails the state by 18.4 points — while 5th-grade math is essentially at the state average. Reading and writing is the clearest gap, 11.6 points below the state versus 2.4 in math and 1.1 in science. Against its own feeders, Whitworth leads Oakdale Heights Elementary School and Lyle Elementary School by 9.5 and 12.2 points in ELA and 5.0 and 5.8 in math.

Attendance is a real strength: chronic absenteeism was 28.0% in 2024-25, better than the district's 32.0% and the state's 33.5%, and down sharply from 45.8% in 2021-22. The school's ranking, though, has fallen four straight years, to the 35th percentile — its weakest point in a decade of data. English-learner and low-income students score at or above the school's own average, while special-education students rank well below it, pointing to mainstream literacy and special-education support as the biggest opportunities. Four Salem-Keizer School District 24J schools about 11 miles north — Myers Elementary School, Schirle Elementary School, Kalapuya Elementary School and Chapman Hill Elementary School — enroll more low-income students yet score substantially higher.
