Summary
Glide Elementary School is a rural public school in Glide, OR, serving 398 students in grades K–6 and operating as the elementary school of Glide School District 12, a district ranked 117th out of 141 Oregon districts (17th percentile, 1 star). In 2025–2026, the school ranked 564th out of 709 Oregon elementary schools — the 20th percentile, with 1 star. The nearest comparable schools are 12.7 to 18.5 miles away and all belong to other districts, so comparisons here are regional rather than neighborhood-level.
Academically, Glide is below state averages in every subject tested. In 2025–2026 OSAS results, 30.1% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (state: 43.8%), 23.0% in math (state: 32.9%), and 16.1% in science (state: 30.6%) — a 14.5-point gap in science, its weakest area. Fifth grade is a clear weak point: ELA 24.2% vs. 47.1% statewide, math 14.5% vs. 32.4%, and science 16.1% vs. 30.8%. The decline is long-term: the school was in the 67th percentile with 3 stars in 2018–2019 and fell to the 20th percentile with 1 star by 2025–2026. Nearby schools show higher results — Hucrest Elementary School (15.8 miles away) posts ELA 58.5%, math 51.3%, and science 44.8%, and Oakland Elementary School (13.6 miles away) posts 40.4% in both ELA and math.
Some signs are more encouraging. Chronic absenteeism fell from 38.9% in 2022–2023 to 33.0% in 2024–2025, now slightly better than both the district and state, though still high. Free/reduced lunch eligibility jumped from 34.14% to 84.92% in 2024–2025, a shift that likely reflects reporting or eligibility changes rather than a sudden change in family income. Per-student spending is $17,574, mid-to-low among nearby schools, and the student-teacher ratio rose from 13.6 to 15.8 over two years. Low-income students rank in the 41st percentile — above the school's overall 20th percentile — while special education students rank in the 1st percentile, a clear area to examine.
