Summary

Sunset Primary School is an elementary school located in West Linn, Oregon, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 376 students. It is part of the West Linn-Wilsonville School District, which is ranked 6th out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Sunset Primary School has consistently ranked highly among Oregon elementary schools, with a current ranking of 88 out of 706 schools and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sunset Primary School consistently outperforms the state and district averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 64.2% of 5th-grade students at Sunset Primary School were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 46.7% statewide and 67.8% in the West Linn-Wilsonville School District. The school also performs exceptionally well in several student subgroups, ranking 61st out of 653 Oregon elementary schools for female students, 8th out of 75 for gifted and talented students, and 82nd out of 352 for special education students.

While Sunset Primary School has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism over the past few years, reaching 38.1% in 2022-2023, this rate is still lower than the state average and comparable to other schools in the district. The school's relatively low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with only 19.15% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, is also noteworthy. Sunset Primary School's strong academic performance, equity-focused approach, and proximity to other high-achieving schools within the West Linn-Wilsonville School District, such as Trillium Creek Primary School, Willamette Primary School, and Cedaroak Park Primary School, make it a standout institution in the West Linn community.
