Summary

Clear Lake Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 317 students in Keizer, Oregon, part of the Salem-Keizer School District 24J, in an area with several other elementary schools within a few miles. In 2025–26 it ranked 251st of 709 Oregon elementary schools (65th percentile, 3 stars). Its district ranks 105th of 141 districts (26th percentile, 1 star), making Clear Lake Elementary School a clear outlier — roughly 40 percentile points above its own district, while ten of its eleven nearest peers sit in the 1st–36th percentile band.

Academically, Clear Lake Elementary School posts 49.0% ELA, 41.9% math, and 37.8% science proficiency, above the state in all three subjects. It is the strongest comprehensive elementary in the immediate area. Gubser Elementary School (0.87 mi) reports 37.9% ELA, 29.2% math, and 22.9% science — about 11, 13, and 15 points behind. Optimum Learning Environment Charter School (0.5 mi) edges Clear Lake Elementary School in ELA (51.9% vs. 49.0%) and math (45.5% vs. 41.9%) but trails in science (26.9% vs. 37.8%) and has higher chronic absenteeism (29.7% vs. 24.9%). Clear Lake Elementary School is above the state in every tested grade, and its 24.9% chronic absenteeism is the lowest in the comparison group — 18.2 points below the district and 8.6 points below the state.

The school achieves this while serving a student body demographically similar to its neighbors: 87.7% qualify for free or reduced lunch, and per-student spending ($21,798) and class size (18.9 students per teacher) are mid-pack. Subgroup results are a bright spot: Hispanic students have ranked in the 84th–92nd percentile for three straight years, and special education students have often outperformed the school’s overall standing. Year-to-year swings for small groups should be read cautiously, but those patterns are durable. Bottom line: Clear Lake Elementary School is the strongest comprehensive elementary in its immediate area and a bright spot in a struggling district. Its open questions are whether it can recover from its post-2020 decline from former top-decile status and whether recent subgroup volatility reflects noise or a real gap.
