Summary

Phoenix Elementary School is a K–5 school in Phoenix, Oregon, serving 320 students as part of Phoenix-Talent School District 4 in a high-poverty community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced lunch. In 2025–2026, it ranked 544th of 709 Oregon elementary schools (23rd percentile, 1 star)—its highest recent percentile, up from 14th, 20th, and 9th in prior years—but still in the bottom quartile. Its OSAS all-grades proficiency is below district and state averages: English Language Arts 31.7%, Mathematics 24.8%, and Science 20%. Third grade is especially weak in ELA (22.9%) and Math (18.8%). On a positive note, chronic absenteeism was 25.1% in 2024–2025, better than the district’s 35.8% and the state’s 33.5%.

Compared with nearby schools, the school generally trails academically but is not the lowest. Talent Elementary School (70th percentile) and Orchard Hill Elementary School (44th percentile), both in the same district, have higher ELA and Math proficiency; Talent also has higher Science. Hoover Elementary School and Lone Pine Elementary School in Medford School District 549C rank much higher. The school spends more per student ($22,427) than several nearby schools, including Hoover and Lone Pine, yet its proficiency is lower, suggesting resources alone are not the whole story. Its student-teacher ratio (16.1) is not unusually large, so class size is not the main difference either.

Subgroup results show bright spots: English Language Learner students ranked at the 60th percentile, Special Education students 54th, Migrant students 46th, and Low Socio Economic Status students 44th—generally above the school’s overall 23rd percentile. Male students were the lowest at 14th percentile. Early-grade literacy and math remain the most urgent areas, and the school’s improving attendance could help. The bottom line for parents: the school has real recent improvement and some strong subgroup effectiveness, but it remains below district and state averages, especially in early grades, and its high spending and modest class sizes have not yet translated into broad proficiency gains.
