Summary

Swegle Elementary School is a public elementary school in Salem, Oregon, serving 505 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Salem-Keizer School District 24J, which is ranked 110 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Swegle Elementary School faces significant challenges in academic performance, with consistently low standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 5.6% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 25.3% for the district and 40.3% for the state. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.3% to 47.9% over the past few years, which is much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Swegle Elementary School performs poorly in supporting the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of Oregon elementary schools for Hispanic, White, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

While the nearby schools within the same district, such as Washington Elementary, Englewood Elementary, and Lamb Elementary, also perform poorly compared to the state averages, they generally outperform Swegle Elementary School in academic achievement, chronic absenteeism, and student subgroup performance. Despite the school's poor performance, Swegle Elementary School spends a relatively high amount per student compared to the nearby schools, and it has a higher student-teacher ratio, which may be contributing factors to the school's struggles.
