Summary

Pringle Elementary School in Salem, OR, is a K–5 school serving 488 students in Salem-Keizer School District 24J, and it has the largest enrollment among the nearby elementary schools in this comparison. Its statewide standing is currently low: in 2025–26 it ranks 616th of 709 Oregon elementary schools (13th percentile, 1 star). This is part of a long decline, from the 82nd percentile in 2014–15 to 13th percentile today, with recent drops from 65th percentile in 2021–22 to 19th in 2024–25 and 13th in 2025–26.

Its academic results are at the bottom of its nearby peer group. In 2025–26 Oregon state test (OSAS) all-grade proficiency, it is below both district and state in every tested subject: English language arts 29.1%, math 19.1%, and science 16.3%. Its ELA and math rates are the lowest among nearby schools, and science is third lowest, ahead of only Lee Elementary School and Battle Creek Elementary School. By contrast, Candalaria Elementary School, Morningside Elementary School, and Sumpter Elementary School all serve similarly high-poverty populations—around 88% free/reduced lunch—but post much stronger results, with Candalaria Elementary School at 66.4% ELA and 50.0% math and Morningside Elementary School at 60.1% ELA and 47.8% math. Pringle’s own free/reduced lunch rate is 87.91%, so high poverty alone does not explain its outcomes. Math and science are especially weak, and the school’s effectiveness ranking for low-income students is 3rd percentile statewide, while English language learner students rank at the 55th percentile, a relative bright spot.

Other factors add to the picture. Pringle’s 2024–25 chronic absenteeism rate is 39.7%, above the state rate of 33.5% and higher than most nearby schools, including Candalaria Elementary School (22.7%), Sumpter Elementary School (24.7%), and Salem Heights Elementary School (34.3%); only Lee Elementary School (41.2%) and Wright Elementary School (40.3%) are higher. Its per-student spending is $18,825, the lowest among the nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio is 21.7, among the highest. Candalaria Elementary School has a similar student-teacher ratio but much stronger outcomes, so resources are not the whole story. Overall, Pringle faces high need and very low outcomes relative to state and nearby peers, with clear priorities in math and science instruction, attendance, and support for low-income students, while preserving relative strengths for English language learners and special education students.
