Summary

Mt Vernon Elementary School is a public elementary school in Springfield, Oregon, serving 357 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Springfield School District 19, which is ranked 86 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mt Vernon Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with a ranking between 553-638 out of 706-710 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on state assessments (OSAS) is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 26% of 5th-grade students were proficient in Math, compared to 23.5% for the district and 31.3% for the state. The school also has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 63.31% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, and higher rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 33.4% to 43.7% over the past few years.

In contrast, the nearby Thurston Elementary School and Douglas Gardens Elementary School have significantly higher academic performance and lower rates of chronic absenteeism. For example, in 2024-2025, Thurston Elementary had 75.9% of 5th-grade students proficient in Math, while Douglas Gardens Elementary ranked 185 out of 706 Oregon elementary schools, compared to Mt Vernon's ranking of 589. These stark contrasts suggest that factors beyond just student demographics, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and resource allocation, may be playing a significant role in the school's outcomes, and there are opportunities for targeted interventions and support to help improve outcomes for the students and community.

I think Mt Vernon is great. Daughter is rocking it in math and reading. She has had great teachers the past two years. But then again we spend time with her at home with these subject's for extra help. No complaints from me. You get what you put into it. Close Quote

I was a student at this school: Mt. Vernon Elementary school.
I was able to make a lot of friends there, but I had a very little education level.
This school needs to whip these kids up and into shape and care more about the education of these children. Close Quote
