Summary

Oak Heights Elementary School is a K–6 school in Sweet Home, Oregon, serving 303 students as part of Sweet Home School District 55. For 2025–2026, Oak Heights Elementary School ranks 410th of 709 Oregon elementary schools — the 42nd percentile, with 2 stars. That reflects real improvement: from 2014–2015 through 2021–2022 the school generally sat between the 10th and 23rd percentile with 1 star, then moved up to 32nd, 37th, and now 42nd percentile. Even so, it remains below the state midpoint and slightly below its own district.

Among Sweet Home schools, Oak Heights is middle of the pack overall — behind Sweet Home Charter School and Holley Elementary School, ahead of Foster Elementary School and Hawthorne Elementary School. Its standout is science: 45.9% proficiency, well above the district's 20.8% and the state's 30.6%, and the highest among same-district schools, where Foster and Hawthorne posted just 5.1% and 6.7%. English language arts and math are weaker. ELA is 38.5% (slightly above the district, below the state) and math is 26.3% (below both), each fourth of the five same-district schools. Math is lowest in 6th grade (14.6%) and 3rd grade (23.7%). Chronic absenteeism is 40.0%, above the state's 33.5%, and per-student spending is $25,164 — the highest of any nearby school and up sharply from $13,801 in 2022–2023.

One encouraging finding is that the low-income student group ranked in the 61st percentile with 3 stars, above the school's overall 42nd percentile, suggesting Oak Heights serves that population comparatively well. Charters such as Sweet Home Charter and Sand Ridge Charter School post higher scores while spending far less, but they serve lower-poverty populations with less absenteeism, so those comparisons are not apples-to-apples. Overall, this is an improving school with a science bright spot, where math, early-grade reading, and attendance are the areas to watch.
