East Elementary School

East Elementary School is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in Tillamook, Oregon, with an enrollment of 458 students. While the school spends more per student than the state average, it faces some significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates and lower-than-average test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Tillamook Junior High School in the same district, East Elementary School generally underperforms, with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. When looking at schools in a different district, Neah-Kah-Nie Middle School significantly outperforms East Elementary, with proficiency rates that are often 20-30 percentage points higher. This suggests that the Neah-Kah-Nie School District 56 may be providing a higher-quality education compared to the Tillamook School District 9.

The high rates of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage, as indicated by the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be contributing to the lower academic performance of the students at East Elementary School. These factors can create significant challenges for the school and district in terms of providing the necessary resources and support to help students succeed. The school's performance suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the student population.
