Summary

Pioneer School is an elementary school located in Lebanon, Oregon, serving 348 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Lebanon Community School District 9, which is ranked 47 out of 140 school districts in the state.

While Pioneer School's overall student performance in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics is generally lower than the district and state averages, there are some bright spots. For example, the school's 4th and 5th-grade students perform better in ELA compared to the district and state, and its 4th-graders excel in Mathematics. Additionally, Pioneer School's students from low-socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 18% of Oregon elementary schools. This suggests the school may be effectively supporting the needs of its diverse student population.

Compared to nearby schools within the same district, Sand Ridge Charter School outperforms Pioneer School in both ELA and Mathematics, while Green Acres School lags behind. However, Pioneer School's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 31.1% to 41.1% over the past few years, is a significant concern that may be impacting overall student performance. Addressing this issue could be a priority for the school and district.
