Summary

Hayesville Elementary School is a K–5 school in Salem, Oregon, part of Salem-Keizer School District 24J, serving 442 students in a high-poverty neighborhood where 88.91% were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024-25. It is one of the larger elementary schools among its immediate neighbors, and while it remains in the bottom quartile of Oregon schools, it performs better than several nearby campuses. In 2025-26, Hayesville ranked 605th of 709 Oregon schools (15th percentile, 1 star), a modest improvement from the prior year and its best statewide standing in over a decade.

Compared with 10 nearby schools, Hayesville Elementary School is the 3rd-strongest in a simple composite of ELA, math, and science. Its 2025-26 proficiency rates were 28.5% in ELA, 21.7% in math, and 14.7% in science. That places it behind Yoshikai Elementary School and Valley Inquiry Charter School, but ahead of its closest peers, Lamb Elementary School and Scott Elementary School. Math is its relative strength—just 2.4 points below the district average—while science is its weakest subject, trailing the district by 6.2 points. Class size is comparatively favorable: its 2024-25 student-teacher ratio of 18.6 is the 4th smallest among the 11 nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism, however, is a headwind: 42.5% in 2024-25, better than the district (43.1%) but 9 points above the state (33.5%) and 8th of 11 nearby schools. Valley Inquiry Charter stands out with 16.7% absenteeism.

The 2025-26 gains appear broad: male students improved from the 10th to 39th percentile, low-income students from the 8th to 27th, and English Language Learner students rank at the 54th percentile. Even so, an internal equity gap remains—female students rank in the 3rd percentile and did not improve along with the rest. Grade 4 carries the strongest results, while grade 5 math and science are the weakest points. Absenteeism has improved by 12 points since 2021-22 but still caps instructional gains. Per-student spending stayed flat-to-down and the student-teacher ratio rose from 15.1 to 18.6 while results improved, suggesting resources alone do not explain the change. Because single-year jumps can be volatile in a 442-student school, parents should watch whether these gains hold.
