Summary

Guy Lee Elementary School is a public elementary school in Springfield, Oregon, serving 334 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism rates, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Guy Lee Elementary School has consistently performed in the bottom quartile of Oregon elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics well below the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were just 14.6% in both ELA and Math, compared to the Springfield School District 19 averages of 38% and 35.5%, respectively, and the state averages of 40.3% and 40.1%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students with special needs.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Maple Elementary School, Guy Lee Elementary stands out as an outlier, with significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates and a much larger proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively high per-student spending, suggesting that the issue may not be a lack of funding, but rather how the resources are being utilized to support student success.

The staff seems overwhelmed and unwilling to even provide basic educational duties, let alone anything extra, despite additional funding with the most recent budget allocations for support staff and IDEA provisions and accommodations. They evidently don't have functioning clocks, or are unable to accurately tell time. I personally provided sensory deprivation tools like headphones.... the list is endless in regards to my perpetual disappointment with Guy Lee elementary. Close Quote

I love Guy Lee Elementary! In an area that is extremely thin on economic affluence,they soar. Guy Lee strives to open a world of wonder and learning to children. As a volunteer I watch the staff balance a very diverse student base and encourage them to self manage, to seek answers. I feel blessed that my son's educational journey began in a beautiful community of learning like Guy Lee Elementary. Close Quote
