East Elementary School

East Elementary School in Tillamook, Oregon, is a grades 4–6 school with 445 students in Tillamook School District 9, making it the largest of the three schools compared here and essentially the district's upper-elementary pipeline into Tillamook Junior High School, which sits only 0.08 miles away.

On 2025–2026 OSAS tests, East's proficiency is below both district and state averages in all three tested subjects: 37.7% in English language arts, 27.7% in math, and 17.6% in science. Science is the clearest weakness — roughly 13 points below the state — and grade 5 is the sharpest pressure point, with just 17.9% proficient in math and 17.6% in science. The bright spot is 4th grade math, at 40.3%, which is above the state's 38.9% and the only grade-level result shown for East that beats the state.

Compared with nearby schools, East's attendance is a relative strength: 32.6% chronic absenteeism in 2024–25, lower than Tillamook Junior High School (39.6%) and Neah-Kah-Nie Middle School (45.5%). Yet East has the highest free/reduced-lunch rate (84.04%) and the lowest per-student spending ($19,031). Neah-Kah-Nie Middle School posts much stronger results — 57.6% in ELA, 36.7% in math, and 60.7% in science — along with lower poverty, smaller classes, and higher spending, though East does not have rank history available for a direct comparison. The most actionable takeaway for families: grade 5 math and science, and science overall, are where East most needs to improve.
