Summary

Stella Mayfield Elementary School is a small, rural PK–6 school serving 204 students in Elgin, Oregon, the only school in Elgin School District 23 and the only one in its comparison group that includes grade 6. In 2025–2026 it ranked 452nd of 709 Oregon elementary schools, the 36th percentile with 2 stars, while its district ranked 86th of 141 (39th percentile, 2 stars). The school has rebounded from a low point in 2022–2023, when it ranked 638th of 706 and sat in the 10th percentile with 0 stars, and improved to the 45th percentile in 2024–2025 before settling at 36th.

The nearest alternatives are all about 17 to 19 miles away: Wallowa Elementary School (18.8 miles, 74th percentile, 4 stars), Central Elementary School (19.07 miles, 60th percentile, 3 stars), Island City Elementary School (16.85 miles, 53rd percentile, 3 stars), and Greenwood Elementary School (17.88 miles, 17th percentile, 1 star). Stella Mayfield's all-grade ELA proficiency of 39.4% trails Wallowa (56.8%), Central (45.9%), and Island City (45.1%) but beats Greenwood (29.8%). Math is 24.3%, ahead of only Greenwood (23.8%), and science is 26.7%. All three subjects fall below state averages, though ELA and math are close to the district's. One key caveat: because Stella Mayfield is the only PK–6 school here, its all-grade scores include 6th grade (26.7% ELA, 10.3% math), while the K–5 neighbors' scores do not.

Strengths include chronic absenteeism, which fell to 20.2% in 2024–2025 from 41.5% in 2022–2023, better than the district's 26.9% and the state's 33.5%. The student-teacher ratio of 11.3 is second-best in the group, and per-student spending is $22,023. Third- and fifth-grade ELA both reached 50%, above the state average, and the school's low-income subgroup ranked in the 62nd percentile, above the school overall. Areas to watch: math is below state in every tested grade, and 4th- and 6th-grade ELA lag well behind state.
