Summary

Joseph Conger Elementary School is a K–5 school with 269 students in Klamath Falls, Oregon, part of Klamath Falls City Schools, and it ranks 277th of 709 Oregon schools (61st percentile, 3 stars) for 2025–26 — slightly above its district and the statewide median.

The most encouraging news is the school's upward trajectory. Conger spent years in the bottom quartile statewide — 14th percentile in 2022–23 — but climbed to 35th, then 41st, then 61st percentile by 2025–26, its best rank in the past decade. Math and science are the strongest subjects: all-grade math is 43.2% proficient versus 29.0% in the district and 32.9% statewide, and science is 41.7% versus 35.5% district and 30.6% state. Among same-district schools, only Roosevelt Elementary School (70th percentile) ranks higher overall. The contrast with Mills Elementary School is striking: both serve high-poverty populations with nearly identical per-student spending ($31,509 at Conger vs. $31,108 at Mills), yet Conger's proficiency rates are far higher in English language arts, math, and science.

Families should know about a few areas to watch. Fourth grade is the clear weak spot, with ELA at 25.0% and math at 30.8%, both below district and state, even as third grade (52.6% in both subjects) and fifth grade remain strong. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 49.2% in 2021–22 to 32.5%, better than the district's 42.4% and the state's 33.5%, though Roosevelt Elementary School, Keno Elementary School, Shasta Elementary School, Ferguson Elementary School, and Henley Elementary School all have lower rates. Female students rank in the 38th percentile compared with 72nd for male students, an equity gap worth asking about. Conger has the highest per-student spending in the comparison group and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.8.
