Summary

Nestucca K8 is a public PK–8 school serving 336 students in the rural community of Cloverdale, Oregon, and it is the only school in this comparison group that spans kindergarten through middle school. It belongs to Nestucca Valley School District 101J, which ranks 123rd of 141 Oregon districts. The school’s statewide rank has fallen steadily, from 333rd of 701 (52nd percentile, 3 stars) in 2016–17 to 654th of 709 (8th percentile, 0 stars) in 2025–26.

In 2025–26, All Grades proficiency was 23.1% in English language arts, 13.4% in math, and 10.7% in science, compared with state rates of 43.8%, 32.9%, and 30.6%. Math is roughly even with the district, but the district itself is very low in math, so that is not a relative strength. Nestucca trails Taft Elementary School in all three All Grades subjects, and its Grade 3 math (14.7%) is well below Taft’s 27% and South Prairie Elementary School’s 39.7%. Grade 5 is the clearest concern: ELA 5.9%, math under 5%, and science under 5%. Grade 8 math is 7.5%, while Grade 8 ELA (32.5%) is the school’s strongest ELA grade. Note that “All Grades” figures are not perfectly comparable because nearby schools serve different grade bands.

Chronic absenteeism improved from 52.0% in 2021–22 to 34.1% in 2024–25, below the district’s 36.9% and only slightly above the state’s 33.5%. That is better than Taft (39.3%) and Oceanlake Elementary School (45.4%), similar to South Prairie (33.8%), and somewhat worse than Liberty Elementary School (31.9%). About 93.75% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the highest rate among the nearby schools, and per-student spending is $22,926 with a student/teacher ratio of 17.6. Nearby South Prairie spends less ($18,948) with lower poverty (84.32%) yet posts much higher Grade 3 proficiency. Ranked against other Oregon schools on how well they serve particular groups of students, Nestucca’s results are relatively stronger for Hispanic and low-income students and weakest for White and male students, though all groups rank below average.
