Summary
Eastwood Elementary School in Roseburg, OR, is a PK–5 school serving 393 students in Douglas County School District 4, making it the largest elementary in its immediate peer group. The school currently sits at the 28th percentile of Oregon elementary schools (1 star), with proficiency rates of 33.3% in English language arts, 27.1% in math, and 17.5% in science. While its district is above average statewide (65th percentile, 3 stars), the school trails district averages in all three subjects — a gap of about 10.5 points in ELA, 5.8 in math, and 13.1 in science.
Science is the sharpest weakness: the school trails its own district by 19.1 points and ranks 9th of 10 nearby elementaries with reported science results, ahead of only Lookingglass Elementary School (under 5%). Yet there are clear strengths. Chronic absenteeism is 31.2%, better than both the district (35.8%) and state (33.5%), and it has beaten both in four of the last five years. The 4th grade cohort is also a bright spot, exceeding state proficiency in ELA (53.1%) and math (46.9%), while 3rd and 5th grades trail state by roughly 19–22 points. The 4th-to-5th grade math spread is 33.8 percentage points within the same building.
Compared with same-district peers, the school spends $16,986 per student — $2,300–$4,500 less than every other same-district elementary — and has a 15.8-to-1 student-teacher ratio. Yet Melrose Elementary School, with the same staffing ratio and higher poverty, outperforms it by roughly 30–39 points in every subject. Hucrest Elementary School, with nearly identical enrollment (394 vs. 393) and a slightly higher staffing ratio, outperforms it by 25 points in ELA, 24 in math, and 27 in science. Its free/reduced lunch rate is 83.7%, lower than Melrose (87.8%) and Hucrest (81.2%). The school’s best recent year was 2023-24 (41st percentile), but it has since fallen to 28th for two consecutive years. Its most useful benchmark is not the state average but these district peers who achieve far more with similar students and resources.
