Summary

Warm Springs K-8 Academy is a K–8 school serving 499 students in Warm Springs, Oregon, in Jefferson County, and it is the largest school in its local comparison group, operating as part of Jefferson County School District 509J. Statewide, it currently ranks 704th of 709 ranked Oregon schools (1st percentile, 0 stars), and it has landed in the bottom 1–3 percent of the state in nearly every year of the past decade. The district itself also ranks near the bottom statewide, at 130th of 141.

Academically, the school posts the lowest scores in its comparison group in every subject: ELA 11.5%, math 6.7%, and science 7.0%, against district rates of 25.6%, 15.9% and 14.3% and state rates of 43.8%, 32.9% and 30.6%. Resources are not the obvious constraint — it has the group's highest per-pupil spending ($25,483) and among its smallest classes (student-teacher ratio 12.8), yet the lowest outcomes. Metolius Elementary School spends nearly the same amount ($25,225) and posts ELA proficiency of 39.8%. Chronic absenteeism at Warm Springs is 44.7%, the highest among nearby brick-and-mortar schools and about 11 points above the state average.

There is one encouraging chapter: in 2024–25 the school had its best year in the data, ranking 531st of 706 (25th percentile) — the only year it escaped the bottom decile — before falling back to the 1st percentile in 2025–26. Attendance has also improved, from 57.1% chronically absent in 2020–21 to 44.7% in 2024–25, even as the state rate worsened. Middle grades are the clearest weak spot, with 6th-grade ELA, 6th-grade math and 8th-grade math all under 5%, while 5th-grade ELA (16.9%) and 4th-grade math (17.0%) are comparatively stronger. For context, Buff Elementary School serves a similarly low-income population, spends less, and posts 28.3% chronic absenteeism with ELA at 44.7%.
