Summary

Westside Elementary School is a K–5 school of 394 students in Hood River, Oregon, part of the Hood River County School District, located on Belmont Drive roughly 1.2 miles from its nearest peer. On paper its district is mid-tier — ranked 46th of 141 in Oregon, the 67th percentile — but Westside itself ranks 53rd of 709 schools statewide (93rd percentile, 5 stars). Its proficiency rates are 66% in English language arts, 63.1% in math, and 63.5% in science, compared with district figures of 47.1%, 36.4%, and 33.5%, and state figures of 43.8%, 32.9%, and 30.6%.

Comparisons with nearby schools are striking. Westside is the top-ranked school in this group; May Street Elementary School is next at the 74th percentile, while Parkdale Elementary School, Mid Valley Elementary School, Dry Hollow Elementary School, Colonel Wright Elementary School, and Chenowith Elementary School range from the 40th down to the 1st percentile. Westside's results are also unusually even: every grade-level score sits in a 61–68 band, and its reading-to-math gap is only 2.9 points versus about 11 points for the district and state — a sign of broad instructional strength rather than a single literacy push. Chronic absenteeism is 14.9%, less than half the district's 29.0% and the state's 33.5%.

About 71% of Westside students qualify for free or reduced-price meals, in line with other Hood River schools, and the school spends $21,512 per student — mid-pack locally — while carrying the district's largest classes at a 16.7 student-teacher ratio. Outcomes for low-income students have ranked near the top of the state, including first in Oregon in 2023–24, though results for students in special education have swung between the 41st and 88th percentiles over three years, the one area worth watching.
