Summary

Hammond Elementary School is a public elementary school in Salem, Oregon, serving 461 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. 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.

Despite having higher per-student spending than the state average, Hammond Elementary has consistently struggled to provide a high-quality education for its students. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, with only brief periods of a 2-star rating. Key challenges include very high chronic absenteeism rates, significantly below-average test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, and difficulties serving certain student subgroups effectively.

When compared to nearby schools, Hammond Elementary generally performs worse on metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism. For example, Yoshikai Elementary, less than a mile away, significantly outperforms Hammond on math and ELA proficiency rates. The nearby Valley Inquiry Charter School also outperforms Hammond across the board, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional quality and school climate, may be contributing to the school's challenges.
