Summary

Sumpter Elementary School is a public elementary school in Salem, Oregon, serving 484 students in grades K-5. As part of the Salem-Keizer School District 24J, Sumpter consistently outperforms the district and state in academic achievement, ranking in the top half of Oregon elementary schools with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sumpter's students excel in standardized tests, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the district and state averages. For example, in 5th-grade English Language Arts, 47.9% of Sumpter's students were proficient or better, compared to 34.7% for the district and 46.7% for the state. The school's strong performance extends to various student subgroups, including Hispanic students, who ranked 76th out of 365 Oregon elementary schools in English Language Arts.

While Sumpter's academic achievements are impressive, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.4% to 47.9% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the state's average and can negatively impact student learning. Nonetheless, Sumpter's ability to support students from diverse backgrounds, including a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic status, is a testament to the school's effective resource allocation and teaching practices.
