Summary

Siuslaw Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Florence, Oregon, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 521 students. The school is part of the Siuslaw School District 97J, which is ranked 85 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Siuslaw Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with a ranking between 330 and 476 out of 706-710 schools over the past several years. The school's performance has been relatively stable, with a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger. In comparison, the nearby Mapleton Elementary School, which is part of the Mapleton School District 32, has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Oregon elementary schools, with a 1-star rating.

Siuslaw Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science, has been below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. The school has also experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 25.9% to 38.1% over the past few years. While the school has a relatively high per-student spending of $21,734 and a student-teacher ratio of around 14-15 students per teacher, these factors have not translated into improved student outcomes. The challenges faced by Siuslaw Elementary School appear to be reflective of broader systemic issues in the region's education system, as evidenced by the even poorer performance of the nearby Mapleton Elementary School.
