Summary

Griffin Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school in Medford, Oregon, serving 474 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Medford School District 549C, which is ranked 67 out of 140 districts in the state.

While Griffin Creek Elementary School has consistently ranked in the middle range of Oregon elementary schools, its student performance on state assessments is generally below the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. However, the school's 4th-grade ELA proficiency rate was higher than the district and state. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 64.98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Interestingly, the school's special education and low socioeconomic status student groups perform better than the state average, ranking in the top 25% of Oregon elementary schools in these categories.

Nearby schools, such as Hoover Elementary and Jacksonville Elementary, are consistently outperforming the district and state in both ELA and Mathematics, suggesting that Griffin Creek Elementary School may have opportunities to learn from their practices and strategies to improve student outcomes. Additionally, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 25% to 38.1% over the past few years, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance compared to the district and state.
