Summary

Powers Elementary School is a small public elementary school located in Powers, Oregon, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 63 students. The school is part of the Powers School District 31, which is ranked 137 out of 140 school districts in Oregon and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Powers Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with a ranking between 554 and 700 out of around 700 schools over the past 10 years. The school has received a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger during this time period, indicating it is a low-performing school. This is due to several key factors, including very high chronic absenteeism rates, significantly below-average test scores, and an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

In comparison, the nearby Myrtle Crest School, which is part of the Myrtle Point School District 41, performs significantly better than Powers Elementary School across a range of metrics, including higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and a higher school ranking from SchoolDigger. This suggests that there may be opportunities for the Powers School District to explore evidence-based strategies for improving student attendance, academic achievement, and overall school climate.
