Summary
Alameda Intermediate School in Ontario, OR is a grades 4–5 school with 355 students, serving a high-poverty community as part of Ontario School District 8C. It ranks 473rd of 709 Oregon schools (33rd percentile, 2 stars), while its district ranks 118th of 141 (16th percentile, 1 star). The school’s reported free/reduced-lunch rate is 101.4%—above 100%, likely a reporting artifact—but it effectively indicates near-universal economic disadvantage.
In 2025–2026 OSAS all-grade results, 39.9% of students at Alameda Intermediate School met proficiency in English language arts, 27.7% in math, and 19.0% in science. That is above the district in all three subjects but below the state, where the rates are 43.8%, 32.9%, and 30.6%. Science is the largest gap. Fifth grade is weaker than fourth: ELA falls from 42.5% in 4th grade to 37.3% in 5th, math from 31.4% to 24.2%, and 5th-grade science is 19.0% versus 30.8% statewide. Compared with nearby schools, Alameda trails Adrian Elementary School, Vale Elementary School, and Annex Charter School substantially in every subject, while it is closer to Nyssa Elementary School—slightly higher in ELA but slightly lower in math and science. Within its district, it outperforms Aiken Elementary School in ELA and math; May Roberts Primary School serves K–1 and has no OSAS results.
Alameda Intermediate School has a genuine strength in attendance: its chronic absenteeism rate was 15.6% in 2024–2025, below the district’s 18.7% and far below the state’s 33.5%, though it rose from 11.1% the year before. Per-student spending was $22,372, and its student/teacher ratio was 16.1. Subgroup data show relatively strong effectiveness for migrant students (77th percentile), low-income students (69th), and English language learners (65th), but very weak results for special education students (10th percentile) and gifted/talented students (9th percentile). Overall, this is a high-poverty school with strong attendance and notable value for some underserved groups, but it still needs to raise overall proficiency, especially in science and 5th grade, and improve support for special education and gifted students.
