Summary

Lamb Elementary School is a K–5 school at 4930 Herrin Rd NE in Salem, Oregon, serving 436 students as part of Salem-Keizer School District 24J, and its test scores have ranked near the bottom of Oregon for a full decade. Across ten years of rankings the school has never climbed above the 11th percentile statewide, and in 2025–26 it placed 677th of 709 elementary schools — the 5th percentile, with zero stars. That is a modest step up from its 2023–24 low of 3rd percentile, but it sits well inside the school's long-term pattern rather than marking a turnaround.

About 17.7% of students met standards in English language arts, 17.4% in math, and 6.7% in science, all below district and state averages, with science the weakest subject. Among the ten nearby Salem-Keizer elementaries, the school ranks 8th of 11 in ELA and 10th of 11 in science, though mid-pack in math. Attendance is the standout strength: 34.8% of students were chronically absent in 2024–25, better than the district's 43.1% and second-best in the cluster behind Valley Inquiry Charter School (16.7%), and it has improved steadily over four years. Per-student spending is $21,349, above the cluster median, while results have stayed flat. Yoshikai Elementary School, less than a mile away, spends about $980 less per student and yet scores roughly 10 points higher in ELA, 17 points higher in math, and 13 points higher in science.

Two groups stand out as concerns: special education students and gifted/talented students both rank at the 1st percentile statewide, near the very bottom. The largest single gap is third-grade reading, where 10.5% of third graders met standards versus 41.5% statewide. Attendance shows the school can move the needle; early literacy and science are where the work remains.
