Summary

West Park Elementary School is a K–5 school in Hermiston, Oregon, serving 408 students as part of Hermiston School District 8. For 2025–2026 it ranked 396th of 709 Oregon elementary schools (44th percentile, 2 stars), placing it in the middle of the state and slightly below its district's overall standing. About 91.67% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, per-student spending was $21,053, and the student–teacher ratio was 14.5.

Academically, the picture is mixed. Math is a genuine strength: 37.6% of all grades tested proficient, above the district (32.3%) and state (32.9%), with 4th grade above both. But English language arts (39.0%) trails the district (42.4%) and state (43.8%) at every tested grade, and science is the weakest area at 20.3%, versus 25.8% district and 30.6% state. Among nearby Hermiston schools, Desert View Elementary School and Highland Hills Elementary School post much higher proficiency in every subject, while West Park outperforms Loma Vista Elementary and Rocky Heights Elementary School. Stanfield Elementary School, a few miles away, gets higher ELA and math results while spending far less per student ($16,233), though its science score is similar.

Attendance has improved dramatically: chronic absenteeism fell from 45.3% in 2021–2022 to 30.0% in 2024–2025, now better than district and state averages, though Sunset Elementary School (27.7%), Desert View, Highland Hills (20.1%) and Stanfield (8.9%) remain lower. The school's biggest concern is special education, where its effectiveness ranking improved to the 34th percentile in 2024–2025 from the 4th percentile in 2022–2023 — still far below its overall standing. By contrast, results for students from low-income families and English learners rank well above the school's overall percentile, suggesting West Park serves some of its highest-need students comparatively well.
