Summary

Four Corners Elementary School is a K–5 public school in Salem, Oregon, serving 362 students as part of Salem-Keizer School District 24J, a district that itself ranks 105th of 141 Oregon districts (26th percentile). Within that context, Four Corners Elementary School sits at the very bottom of the state: its 2025–2026 statewide rank is 696th of 709 elementary schools (2nd percentile, 0 stars). This is not new — the school has ranked in the bottom 1–4% of Oregon elementaries for a decade and earned 0 stars every year in the available history, including a 708th-of-710 finish in 2023–2024. In 2024–2025, 87.85% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, results are far below both district and state benchmarks. In 2025–2026 testing, proficiency was 17.8% in English language arts (district 34.5%, state 43.8%), 10.3% in math (district 24.1%, state 32.9%), and 7.5% in science (district 20.9%, state 30.6%). Math weakens sharply by grade: 18.6% in 3rd grade, 7.8% in 4th grade, and under 5% in 5th grade, with 5th-grade science at 7.5%. Four Corners' math proficiency is the lowest among 10 nearby same-district schools. Yet Morningside Elementary School, serving a similarly high-poverty population, reaches 60.1% in ELA, 47.8% in math, and 42.4% in science, and Englewood Elementary School also outperforms — suggesting these outcomes are not inevitable given the demographics.

One clear bright spot is attendance: chronic absenteeism fell from 55.2% in 2021–2022 to 36.7% in 2024–2025, better than the district's 43.1% though slightly above the state's 33.5%. Achievement did not follow that improvement. A major red flag is the student-teacher ratio of 26.2 — the highest of all nearby schools, up from 18.7 in 2022–2023, and well above Eyre Elementary School (20.9) and Richmond Elementary School (15.6). Per-student spending of $20,551 is mid-to-low locally.
