Summary
Sunnyslope Elementary School is a K–5 school in Roseburg, Oregon, serving 246 students as part of Douglas County School District 4, and it enrolls a high-poverty population — 83.33% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, up from 65.48% the year before. Statewide, Sunnyslope ranked 418th of 709 schools in 2025–2026 (41st percentile, 2 stars), while the district as a whole ranked 49th of 141. The long-term picture is brighter than that: the school climbed from 641st of 706 (9th percentile) in 2014–2015 to 362nd of 706 (49th percentile) in 2024–2025, its best year shown, before slipping in 2025–2026.
Academically, math is the school's clearest strength. Overall math proficiency was 36.4%, above both the district (32.7%) and state (32.9%), and 4th-grade math stood out at 43.2%. English language arts is the biggest weakness: 33.3% proficiency overall, about 10–11 points below the district (44.6%) and state (43.8%), with the largest gap in 3rd grade at 26.2% versus 41.5% statewide. ELA does improve by grade, reaching 40.0% in 5th grade, though it stays below district and state at every tested grade. Science came in at 30.0%, close to the state's 30.6%.
Locally, Sunnyslope is mid-pack: it trails Melrose Elementary School (92nd percentile) and Hucrest Elementary School (81st) by wide margins, and leads Winchester Elementary, Eastwood Elementary School, and Lookingglass Elementary School, whose science proficiency is under 5%. Resources are relatively favorable: $20,865 per student and a 12.7 student-teacher ratio, the lowest among nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism fell from 48.5% in 2021–2022 to 31.0% in 2024–2025, now better than district and state. The school's strongest subgroup result is with low-income students, at the 80th percentile in 2025–2026 (90th in 2024–2025), while special education results swing sharply year to year.
