Summary
Henley Elementary School is a K–6 school in Klamath Falls, OR, serving 493 students in the Klamath County School District, where 92.9% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. The school ranks 487th of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2025–26 (31st percentile, 2 stars), while the district ranks 78th of 141 (45th percentile, 2 stars). Henley was a 3-star school from 2015–16 through 2021–22, peaking at the 66th percentile in 2017–18, but has been 2 stars since 2022–23, with its percentile slipping from 42 to 43 to 41 to 31. That places it in the lower-middle statewide and below its district average.
Academically, Henley is below district and state in all three tested subjects: English language arts at 38.3%, math at 25.4%, and science at 16.7%. Science is the clearest gap—16.7% is 11.8 points below the district and 13.9 points below the state, and below every same-district nearby school. Math is weak in grades 5 and 6 (22.4% and 19.2%). Third-grade ELA is a bright spot at 47.1%, above both district and state, but overall ELA still trails. Attendance is a strength: chronic absenteeism is 20.6%, much lower than the district’s 31.0% and state’s 33.5%; among nearby schools, only Merrill Elementary School is lower at 12.6%. Ferguson Elementary School is 22.0%, Shasta Elementary School 28.2%, and Peterson Elementary School 30.2%.
Resource levels do not offer a simple explanation. Henley spends $16,814 per student, less than nearby Merrill Elementary School ($20,208), Stearns Elementary School ($26,900), Pelican Elementary School ($22,665), Joseph Conger Elementary School ($31,509), Roosevelt Elementary School ($21,948), and Mills Elementary School ($31,108), though close to Ferguson Elementary School ($16,237) and Peterson Elementary School ($16,417). Its student-teacher ratio of 16.5 is relatively favorable versus Ferguson (19.3), Shasta (19.5), Peterson (21.2), Pelican (19.7), Roosevelt (26.4), and Mills (17.5). Subgroup effectiveness has fallen sharply, especially for low-income and special education students. Henley sits below stronger same-district schools like Merrill Elementary School, Ferguson Elementary School, and Shasta Elementary School, and below higher-ranked schools in the Klamath Falls City Schools district, such as Roosevelt Elementary School and Joseph Conger Elementary School.
