Summary

Mulino Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-5 in the Molalla River School District in Mulino, Oregon. The school has 207 students and has been rated 2-3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger over the past several years, ranking between 319-367 out of 706-710 Oregon elementary schools.

Mulino Elementary faces some challenges, particularly with high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 29.2% to 43.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Rural Dell Elementary (34.3%) and Molalla Elementary (34.3%). The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are mixed compared to the district and state averages, with some grades performing above and others below. Mulino Elementary also has a relatively high percentage of low socioeconomic status students, ranging from 26.34% to 39.61% free/reduced lunch recipients.

Despite having higher per-student spending than some nearby schools, Mulino Elementary's overall performance is not significantly better, indicating that simply spending more may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. Interestingly, the school's male students and low socioeconomic status students have performed better than their female and white student counterparts in recent years. Additionally, a nearby school in the same district, Clarkes Elementary, consistently outperforms Mulino Elementary in test scores, suggesting that factors beyond just district and funding may be contributing to the differences in performance.
