Summary

Mt Vernon Elementary School is a K–5 school in Springfield, Oregon, serving 354 students in Springfield School District 19, where it ranks below the state average but has recent upward momentum. Its 2025–2026 rank is 509th of 709 elementary schools (28th percentile, 1 star), up from the 10th percentile in 2022–2023 and 2023–2024 and 17th in 2024–2025. The school reports 100% free/reduced-price lunch eligibility in 2024–2025, up from about 63% in prior years; nearby schools also report around or above 100%, suggesting a reporting/eligibility change rather than a literal doubling of poverty. Per-student spending is $22,936, and the student–teacher ratio is 15:1.

Academically, all-grades proficiency is 33.3% in English language arts (below district 37.6% and state 43.8%) and 30.2% in math (above district 27.7%, below state 32.9%). Science is the weakest subject at 15.3%, well below district and state averages. Locally, it outperforms Riverbend Elementary School (14th percentile), Two Rivers Dos Rios Elementary (19th), Guy Lee Elementary School (24th), and Elizabeth Page Elementary School (26th), is similar to Maple Elementary School (30th), and trails Centennial Elementary School (38th), Yolanda Elementary School (45th), Ridgeview Elementary School (54th), Douglas Gardens Elementary School (82nd), and Thurston Elementary School (84th). Douglas Gardens Elementary School, just 0.51 miles away, has similar enrollment, spending, and lunch reporting but much stronger outcomes: 60.3% ELA, 57.9% math, 32.0% science, and 30.4% chronic absenteeism.

Grade-level results vary sharply. Fourth grade is a relative strength: ELA is 43.6%, essentially at the state average, and math is 38.2%, near the state average. Fifth grade is the weakest level, with ELA 25.9%, math 15.5%, and science 15.3%, all bottom-tier locally. Chronic absenteeism is a major barrier: 43.8% in 2024–2025, above the district (39.8%) and state (33.5%), and among the highest nearby. Reducing absenteeism and strengthening fifth-grade instruction and science are clear priorities. Overall, the school is a high-poverty, below-average-performing school with recent upward momentum and relatively favorable staffing, but its outcomes remain below many nearby schools, making local comparisons like Douglas Gardens Elementary School useful for improvement efforts.

Open Quote 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

Open 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
