Summary

Forest Ridge Elementary School is a K–5 school in Keizer, Oregon, in the Salem area, serving 226 students as part of Salem-Keizer School District 24J. In 2025–2026, it ranked 620th of 709 Oregon elementary schools—13th percentile, 1 star—a sharp decline from its historically stronger position. From 2014–15 through 2016–17, the school was consistently in the 78th–83rd percentile with 4 stars; it later slipped through the 2018–19 school year, briefly rebounded to the 57th percentile in 2023–24, then fell to the 30th percentile in 2024–25 and the 13th percentile in 2025–26. The district ranks 105th of 141 in Oregon (26th percentile, 1 star), so Forest Ridge operates in a lower-performing district context.

Academic results are below district and state averages in every tested subject. In 2025–26, proficiency was 27.7% in English language arts, 21.0% in math, and 12.5% in science; science is a particular weakness, and 5th grade math (13.2%) and 5th grade science (12.5%) are especially low. One bright spot is 4th grade ELA at 33.3%, slightly above the district average. Attendance is another relative strength: chronic absenteeism was 28.4% in 2024–25, better than the district (43.1%) and state (33.5%), and better than most nearby schools. Yet Forest Ridge spends $25,704 per student and has a 16.4 student-teacher ratio—the highest spending and smallest classes among nearby schools—so resources and class size alone do not explain the low outcomes.

Nearby schools show what is possible locally. Clear Lake Elementary School, about 0.5 miles away, posted 49.0% ELA and 37.8% science proficiency, while Optimum Learning Environment Charter School, at the same address, reached 51.9% ELA and 45.5% math. Low-income students are a major concern: after ranking at the 0th percentile in 2023–24, they were at the 14th percentile in 2025–26. Special education students are a relative bright spot, ranking at the 52nd percentile in 2024–25. Families should know that poverty data for 2024–25 is inconsistent, so comparisons are uncertain. The school’s biggest priorities appear to be reversing the achievement slide, strengthening science and upper-grade math, and improving outcomes for low-income students.
