Summary

Swegle Elementary School is a K–5 school in Salem, Oregon, serving 496 students in the Salem-Keizer School District 24J. In 2025–2026 it ranked 684th of 709 Oregon elementary schools (4th percentile, 0 stars) — the latest year in a decade of consistently ranking in the bottom 1st–9th percentile with 0 stars. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 17.4% in English language arts, 13.3% in math, and 11.1% in science, versus district rates of 34.5%, 24.1%, and 20.9% and state rates of 43.8%, 32.9%, and 30.6%. Chronic absenteeism was 42.1% in 2024–2025, above the state's 33.5%, and 88.91% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch.

Against 10 nearby Salem-Keizer elementary schools, Swegle has the lowest per-student spending, $19,290 — roughly $1,945 below the nearby average — and one of the highest student-teacher ratios at 19.8. Its ELA proficiency is second-lowest of the 11 schools (only Hallman, at 16.1%, is lower), and its math proficiency of 13.3% is tied with Scott. Poverty, though, is not what sets Swegle apart: its 88.91% free/reduced lunch rate falls inside the nearby 87.7%–90.4% range. The sharpest contrast is Englewood Elementary School 1.85 miles away, where 87.72% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch yet ELA reaches 38.7%, math 33.6%, and science 40.7% — with $24,605 per student and a ratio of 17.6.

Subgroup results are consistently bottom-tier: low-income students ranked 517th of 518 in 2024–2025 (0th percentile), English language learners 96th of 107, and special education students 339th of 352. Since about 89% of Swegle students are low-income, that first group is effectively the whole school. Fourth grade stands out as a weak point, with 4th grade ELA at 14.0% and 4th grade math at 8.1% — the lowest and second-lowest among nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism has improved from a 49.6% peak in 2022–2023 but remains far above state levels. The pattern to note: high need combined with the lowest nearby spending and larger classes, alongside a nearby school achieving stronger results with a similar student population.
