Summary

Scott Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Salem, Oregon, serving 521 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Salem-Keizer School District 24J, which is ranked 110 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Scott Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Oregon elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, indicating it is one of the lowest-performing schools in the state. Student proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower at Scott Elementary compared to the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 20.5% of 3rd graders, 22.8% of 4th graders, and 24.7% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district averages of 25.3%, 27.4%, and 34.7%, respectively. The school has also experienced extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.3% to 47.9% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby Hallman Elementary School, Hammond Elementary School, and Hoover Elementary School, which are also part of the Salem-Keizer School District 24J, generally perform better than Scott Elementary across various metrics, including statewide ranking, student proficiency, and chronic absenteeism. This suggests that the challenges faced by Scott Elementary may be unique and require targeted interventions to address the underlying factors contributing to the school's low performance.
