Summary

Sherwood Heights Elementary School is a public elementary school in Pendleton, Oregon, serving 441 students in grades K-5. While the school has a relatively high per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, it has consistently underperformed academically compared to the Pendleton School District 16 and the state of Oregon.

Sherwood Heights Elementary has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking and performance on standardized tests for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science over the past several years. The school's chronic absenteeism rates have also been significantly higher than the state average, ranging from 34.3% to 42.3% in recent years. Additionally, the school's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, with particularly low rankings for English Language Learners and Special Education students.

While the nearby Washington Elementary School and McKay Creek Elementary School, which are also part of the Pendleton School District 16, have generally outperformed Sherwood Heights Elementary, they too face challenges such as high chronic absenteeism rates and a high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds. Addressing these issues and providing more targeted support for vulnerable student populations will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes at Sherwood Heights Elementary School.
