Summary

Dundee Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 216 students in Dundee, Oregon, part of Newberg School District 29J, a high-performing district ranked 20th of 141 statewide. Dundee itself ranks 189th of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the top 27% statewide — with 4 stars, though it has drifted down from the 87th percentile in 2021–2022.

Dundee scores above both its district and the state in all three tested subjects: 51.4% proficiency in English language arts, 49.5% in math, and 38.5% in science. Math is its strongest relative subject, 16.6 points above the state's 32.9%, and fifth grade is a clear bright spot, with ELA, math, and science all above district and state averages. Third and fourth grade ELA, however, trail the district average (44.1% and 44.4% versus 50.7% and 49.3%) while still beating the state. Within the district, Dundee sits mid-pack: Ewing Young Elementary School and Antonia Crater Elementary School rank higher, Mabel Rush Elementary School is very similar, and Joan Austin Elementary School and Edwards Elementary School trail in math and science. Dundee also outperforms Yamhill Carlton Elementary School and Dayton Grade School, and is broadly comparable to St Paul Elementary School.

The school appears especially effective with higher-need students: low-income students rank at the 82nd percentile and special education students at the 85th percentile, up sharply from the 37th percentile in 2017–2018. Its effectiveness ranking for boys has been consistently higher than for girls (75 versus 68 this year). Chronic absenteeism is 24.6%, better than the district's 29.4% and the state's 33.5%, but higher than several nearby schools, including Ewing Young at 11.4% and Middleton Elementary School at 13.2%. Per-student spending is $21,732 with the lowest student-teacher ratio among nearby schools at 13.0, while 68.98% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — up sharply from 39.81% the prior year, a jump that may reflect reporting changes.
