Summary

Pioneer School is a K–5 elementary school serving 261 students in Lebanon, Oregon, part of Lebanon Community School District 9, which ranks 65th of 141 districts statewide.

Pioneer's academics are split by subject. In 2025–2026, 34.8% of students met standards in English Language Arts, below the district's 39.3% and the state's 43.8%. Math was 33.1%, above the district's 27.9% and slightly above the state's 32.9%, and science was 33.3%, comfortably above both the district's 21.4% and the state's 30.6%. Grade-level results vary: third-grade ELA was 20.8%, the lowest among nearby same-district schools and well below the district's 35.9% and the state's 41.5%, while fifth-grade ELA reached 45.8%. Chronic absenteeism was 36.7% in 2024–2025 — better than the district's 41.1% but worse than the state's 33.5%, and up from 31.1% the year before. The school's overall statewide rank slipped to 416th of 709 (41st percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026 after sitting near the 59th–60th percentile in prior years.

Comparisons with nearby schools are informative. Sand Ridge Charter School ranks far higher, but it serves a much lower-poverty population and a different grade span, so it is not a direct peer. Closer to home, Green Acres School, less than a mile away and serving a similarly high-poverty population, ranks 645th of 709 with lower proficiency in every subject — Pioneer's results are clearly stronger. Among seven nearby same-district schools, Pioneer ranks fifth overall. One standout: students from low-income families rank at the 71st percentile (4 stars), well above the school's overall 41st percentile, though results are less even across other student groups. Per-student spending is $20,239, and the student-teacher ratio has improved to 15.3.
