Summary

Gubser Elementary School is a K–5 school in Keizer, Oregon, serving 423 students as part of Salem-Keizer School District 24J, with a high-poverty population — about 88% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024-2025. Statewide, Gubser sits at the 36th percentile (455th of 709 elementary schools, 2 stars) for 2025-2026, while its district ranks 105th of 141 districts in Oregon. That means Gubser currently outperforms its own district's statewide standing, and it beats the district average in all three subjects: ELA (37.9% vs. 34.5%), math (29.2% vs. 24.1%) and science (22.9% vs. 20.9%). It still trails the state in every subject, with science showing the widest gap.

Among eleven nearby elementary schools, Gubser is the third-strongest performer in ELA and math and fourth in science — behind only Clear Lake Elementary School and the small Optimum Learning Environment Charter School. The other neighbors — Hallman Elementary School, Hayesville Elementary School, Hammond Elementary School, Cummings Elementary School, Weddle Elementary School, Kennedy Elementary School, Forest Ridge Elementary School and Keizer Elementary School — post notably lower ELA results. Attendance is a real strength: chronic absenteeism of 31.2% beats both the district (43.1%) and the state (33.5%), and has improved three years running. Gubser achieves this on the lowest per-student spending ($17,785) and the largest classes (22.7 students per teacher) of all eleven schools.

Grade-level results are uneven. Third grade ELA is a standout at 55.6%, the highest of any school in the comparison group and well above district and state. But 5th grade math is weak at 14.3%, below both district and state, and 4th grade ELA also lags. Longer term, Gubser slid from the 70th–72nd percentile a decade ago to the mid-30s, though it ticked up slightly in 2025-2026. A 2023-2024 free-lunch figure appears to reflect a reporting change, and Forest Ridge's reported percentage is an obvious data error.
