Summary

Winchester Elementary is a PK–5 school at 217 Pioneer Way in Winchester, Oregon, serving 330 students as part of Douglas County School District 4. It ranks in the bottom fifth of Oregon elementary schools—570th of 709, at the 20th percentile with 1 star in 2025–26—while its district ranks much higher at 49th of 141 (65th percentile, 3 stars). This gap between district and school is the standout fact.

Achievement is below both district and state in all subjects: 30.1% proficient in English language arts vs. 43.8% state, 23.1% in math vs. 32.9%, and 21.6% in science vs. 30.6%. Winchester is the lowest-ranked of its seven same-district peers. Notably, nearby Melrose Elementary (87.75% free/reduced lunch) and Green Elementary (88.93% FRL) serve higher-poverty populations yet post much higher ELA proficiency (64.7% and 42.4%). Winchester also has the highest chronic absenteeism in its comparison group at 38.6%, above the district (35.8%) and state (33.5%).

The school spends $17,968 per student—near the bottom of its district peer set—but has a favorable 13.6:1 student-teacher ratio. Third-grade ELA (37%) is its strongest relative result, but performance drops sharply by 4th grade (25% ELA, 20% math). Low-income students (30th percentile) and special-education students (23rd percentile) rank above the school overall (20th percentile), suggesting the school serves its highest-need groups comparatively well. Winchester improved from a 0-star, 7th-percentile trough in 2024–25 to 1 star and 20th percentile in 2025–26, but it remains in the bottom quintile as it has for a decade. Note: the free/reduced lunch jump to 83.33% likely reflects a reporting change, not a real shift.
