Summary

Forest Ridge Elementary School is a public elementary school in Keizer, Oregon, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Salem-Keizer School District 24J. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, currently sitting at 496th out of 706 Oregon elementary schools with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Forest Ridge Elementary School faces significant challenges in student academic performance, consistently underperforming compared to the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's proficiency rates range from 18.8% to 51.2% in ELA and 15.6% to 26.8% in Mathematics, lagging behind the higher scores of nearby schools like Gubser Elementary and Clear Lake Elementary. Additionally, Forest Ridge has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 32.7% to 47.9%, which can negatively impact student learning.

Interestingly, the Optimum Learning Environment Charter School, located on the same campus as Forest Ridge Elementary, has consistently outperformed the traditional public school in academic achievement. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Forest Ridge to explore best practices and strategies from the higher-performing charter school to improve its own educational outcomes for students.
