Summary

West Park Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 444 students in grades K-5 in Hermiston, Oregon, which is part of the Hermiston School District 8. While the district is ranked 49 out of 140 in the state and has a 3-star rating, West Park Elementary faces several challenges.

The school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, only 42.4% of 3rd graders at West Park were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 43.9% for the district and 40.3% for the state. West Park also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.3% to 40.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 67.12% to 67.34% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

While Loma Vista Elementary, Rocky Heights Elementary School, and Desert View Elementary School tend to have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and serve a more affluent student population, West Park Elementary performs particularly well with its Hispanic student population, ranking in the top 100 Oregon elementary schools for this subgroup in recent years. However, the school struggles to support its special education students, ranking in the bottom 231 Oregon elementary schools for this subgroup.
