Summary

Washington Elementary School is a K–5 school in Medford, Oregon, serving 221 students in Medford School District 549C — the smallest enrollment among the nearby schools compared here. In 2025–2026 it ranked 646th of 709 Oregon elementary schools, the 9th percentile with 0 stars, well below its district's average. About 88% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and 40.5% were chronically absent in 2024–2025. Test scores were 18.2% in English language arts, 9.1% in Math, and 24.1% in Science.

Among nearby Medford schools, Washington has the lowest all-grade ELA and Math proficiency. Science is a relative bright spot: at 24.1% it is above Howard Elementary School, Wilson Elementary School, Jackson Elementary School, Kids Unlimited Academy, Oak Grove Elementary School, Griffin Creek Elementary School, and Orchard Hill Elementary School (which is in Phoenix-Talent School District 4), though it stays below district and state levels. The weakest results are in the early grades: 3rd grade ELA at 6.3% and 3rd grade Math under 5%, plus 4th grade ELA at 14.8% and Math at 7.4% — the lowest locally. Fifth grade is comparatively stronger (ELA 34.5%, Math 17.2%) but still below district and state.

Chronic absenteeism at 40.5% is the highest among nearby schools and above the district (35.4%) and state (33.5%). Notably, Washington spends $21,704 per student — the most among these schools — and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.6, yet outcomes are the weakest locally. Hoover Elementary School, with a similar share of low-income students, ranks in the 91st percentile with 5 stars and only 17.0% chronic absenteeism. Effectiveness across student groups also varies: female students ranked in the 1st percentile in 2025–2026, while low-income students were a relative strength at the 40th percentile.
