Summary

Elmira Elementary School is a public elementary school in Elmira, Oregon, serving 283 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Fern Ridge School District 28J, which is ranked 48 out of 140 districts in the state.

While Elmira Elementary School's performance on the Oregon Statewide Assessment System (OSAS) tests is generally below the district and state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across grades 3-5, the school's performance is still better than some nearby schools in the Bethel School District 52, such as Malabon Elementary and Fairfield Elementary. However, the Chinese Language Immersion School in the Eugene School District 4J stands out with exceptional performance, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state.

A significant concern for Elmira Elementary School is its persistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.1% to 39.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism, such as socioeconomic factors, transportation issues, or health-related challenges, could be an important focus area for the school and district moving forward.
