Summary

River Mill Elementary School is a public elementary school in Estacada, Oregon, serving 505 students in grades K-5 and part of the Estacada School District 108.

While River Mill Elementary School has consistently ranked in the middle range of Oregon elementary schools, its academic performance has been mixed. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics have generally been below the state and district averages, though it has shown stronger performance in certain subgroups, such as Hispanic students and Special Education students. One significant concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29% to 38.1% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby schools, River Mill Elementary School lags behind many of its counterparts. For example, Naas Elementary and Kelso Elementary, both in the Oregon Trail School District, have consistently outperformed River Mill Elementary in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. Additionally, Springwater Environmental Sciences School, a public charter school in the Oregon City School District, has shown stronger academic performance compared to River Mill Elementary.
