Summary

Melrose Elementary School is a public elementary school in Roseburg, Oregon, serving 335 students in grades K-5 and part of the Douglas County School District 4. The school has consistently performed well, ranking in the top 25% of Oregon elementary schools for the past several years and receiving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2024-2025 school year.

Melrose Elementary School significantly outperforms the nearby schools in the Douglas County School District 4, such as Eastwood Elementary, Sunnyslope Elementary, and Green Elementary, as well as schools in the Winston-Dillard School District 116, such as Brockway Elementary and Lookingglass Elementary, in both academic achievement and student group performance. The school's strong performance for low-socioeconomic status (SES) students is particularly noteworthy, ranking in the top 5% of Oregon elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year.

However, Melrose Elementary School has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.6% to 39.7% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's spending per student has fluctuated, which may impact the resources and support available to students and teachers. These areas warrant further investigation and potential improvement to ensure the continued success of Melrose Elementary School.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, February 18, 2013

An incredibly supportive part of our community, Melrose Elementary has outstanding caring teachers, support staff, and amazing and dedicated base of parent involvement, low to no peer physical/emotional conflict and a small classroom, country feel with country values in an amazing and beautiful setting.
The class sizes are smaller but the test scores, leadership opportunities and efforts to provide an environment that builds a well rounded student are high.
The Parent Teacher group has provided free classroom supplies for EVERY STUDENT at the school from 2009 to the present as well as a spirit gear t-shirt for EVERY STUDENT so that they know they are part of one big family.

Extracurricular activities include, but are not limited to, being a charter organization for both Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts, home of multiple Eagle Scout projects done by former Melrose alumni, Science Fair, Family Movie Nights, Father/Daughter Dance, Mother/Son activity day, school Carnival, Serpentine and Harvest parade, Extra Math, CrossFit PE supplement activities, Healthy Hearts, Battle of the Books, A/R Reading, Holiday Family Dinner, Marble Season (Melrose currently holds the WORLD RECORD for the World's Largest Marble Tournament), Melrose Mile, Farm Day, Field Day and much, much more.
Melrose may be small but it is mighty!

The Parent Teacher Action Network (PTAN), their version of a PTA group, raises almost $20k per year, pays for an extra Teachers aid to cover what a lack of Title 1 funding does not give their school.

They have received over $30000 in grants over the past 6 years and made many capital improvement that will last for years to come.
Even though this site ranks this school as one star, that rating does not come close to measuring the heart, soul and beauty of this community, it's participants, teachers, staff and students. Close Quote
