Summary

Schirle Elementary School is a K–5 school with 306 students in south Salem, Oregon, part of the Salem-Keizer School District 24J, where roughly 88% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch — essentially the same rate as every one of the ten nearby elementary schools. In 2025–2026 it ranked 322nd of 709 Oregon elementary schools (55th percentile, 3 stars).

On state tests, Schirle performs well above its own district: 50% of students meet standards in English language arts (vs. 34.5% district-wide), 36.2% in math (vs. 24.1%), and 24% in science (vs. 20.9%). Against the state, the school is ahead in reading (+6.2 points) and math, but behind in science (24% vs. 30.6%). Among its neighbors, it ranks fourth of eleven overall — behind Candalaria Elementary School (84th percentile) and Morningside Elementary School (80th), which serve nearly identical student populations and reach reading proficiency 10–16 points higher. Schirle also spends near the top of the group at $23,526 per student, yet lands mid-table in results.

Schirle's clearest operational strength is attendance: 27.4% of students are chronically absent, better than eight of eleven nearby schools and far better than the district (43.1%). Achievement varies sharply by grade — fourth graders scored 64.7% in reading and 47.1% in math, well above state levels, while fifth graders fell below the state in reading, math, and science. Long term, the school has slid from the 85th percentile in 2014–15 to a 63rd–67th plateau in recent years, and its 2025–26 result is a step back. Hispanic students remain a consistent bright spot, ranking in the 75th percentile.
