Summary

Greenwood Elementary School is a K–5 school in La Grande, Oregon, with 234 students, part of La Grande School District 1. The district overall is average for Oregon — 70th of 141 districts, the 50th percentile, 3 stars — but Greenwood ranks 586th of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2025–2026, the 17th percentile with 1 star.

That is well below its own district's average and below every nearby school. Same-district peers Island City Elementary School (53rd percentile, 3 stars) and Central Elementary School (60th, 3 stars) outperform it by wide margins, as do Stella Mayfield Elementary School (36th) and Union Elementary School (34th). Greenwood's 2025–2026 all-grade proficiency was 29.8% in English language arts, 23.8% in math, and 13.8% in science, against district rates of 41.9%, 30.5%, and 28.3% and state rates of 43.8%, 32.9%, and 30.6%. Science is the sharpest weakness, at less than half the state average. Chronic absenteeism was 36.4% in 2024–2025 — the highest among these schools and above both the district's 31.0% and the state's 33.5% — though it improved from 47.7% in 2023–2024.

Greenwood is not unusually under-resourced: it spent $18,077 per student in 2024–2025, more than Island City or Central, and its student–teacher ratio of 12.9 is lower than both (15.3 each). Its free/reduced lunch rate, 64.53%, is nearly identical to Island City's 64.51%. Results still lag. Math proficiency drops from 30.8% in 3rd grade to 21.6% in 4th and 17.2% in 5th, and 5th-grade science is 13.8%. Among student groups, female students rank at the 23rd percentile and low-income students at the 29th, while male students rank at the 13th. Greenwood has been in the bottom quartile most of the past decade; its best recent year was 2021–2022 at the 31st percentile, and 2025–2026's 17th percentile is a slight gain over 2023–2024's 11th.
