Summary

Willamina Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 371 students in grades K-5 in Willamina, Oregon. The school is part of the Willamina School District 30J, which is ranked 138 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Willamina Elementary School consistently performs below the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 28.3% of 3rd graders, 22% of 4th graders, and 27.3% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 40.3%, 42.1%, and 46.7%, respectively. The school also has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.3% to 43.3% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average. Additionally, Willamina Elementary School has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 78.44% to 79.95% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Willamina Elementary School's academic performance is significantly lower than that of nearby schools, such as those in the McMinnville School District and Dallas School District. For example, Memorial Elementary School in McMinnville had 65.9% of 5th graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to only 27.3% at Willamina Elementary. Despite spending significantly more per student ($18,498 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average, this does not appear to translate into better academic outcomes for Willamina Elementary School.
