Summary

Territorial Elementary consistently ranks among the top 25% of Oregon elementary schools, with strong academic performance in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. In 2024-2025, over 50% of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate of 62.5% was also notably higher than the district and state. Compared to nearby schools, Territorial generally outperforms its peers, though some schools like Veneta Elementary and Elmira Elementary have shown stronger performance in certain areas.

However, Territorial Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.2% in 2023-2024 to 42.7% in 2022-2023, which is a concerning trend. The school's per-student spending has increased in recent years, reaching $17,808 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and may be contributing to its strong academic performance. Overall, Territorial Elementary appears to be a successful and well-resourced school, though the rise in chronic absenteeism is an issue that the school and district should address.
