Summary

Riley Creek Elementary School is a small, rural PK–6 school in Gold Beach on the southern Oregon coast, serving 212 students as the elementary campus of Central Curry School District 1. It is the only school within 20 miles, so there are no nearby schools to compare it with.

The school's results have plateaued. After reaching the 74th percentile in Oregon in 2017-18, the school has sat at 2 stars and between the 31st and 38th percentile for five straight years, most recently 441st of 709 schools. Its district, by contrast, ranks 26th of 141 statewide (82nd percentile, 4 stars) — a striking gap, since the school's tested-grade results match the district's exactly in every subject. Only about 37.5% of students met the standard in English language arts, 27.2% in math, and 31.0% in science, with science the one subject at or slightly above the state average.

Where the school looks strongest: third-grade math, at 50% proficient, is 8.7 points above the state, and students from low-income families rank in the 74th percentile (4 stars) — up from 54th the year before. But math proficiency falls at every grade after third, reaching 10.7% by sixth grade, about 19 points below the state. Chronic absenteeism is roughly one in three students (35.9% in 2024-25, above the state's 33.5%) and is the most likely lever for improvement. Per-student spending rose 26% between 2021-22 and 2023-24, to $21,500, yet results stayed flat — for a school this small, per-pupil costs run high. Note that grade-level and subgroup percentages are based on small numbers of students and should be read as directional.
