Summary

Nellie Muir Elementary School is a K–5 public school in Woodburn, Oregon, serving 523 students as part of Woodburn School District 103, a district ranked near the bottom of Oregon's 141 districts. The school itself ranked 707th of 709 Oregon elementaries in 2025–26. In 2025–26, 13.2% of students were proficient in English language arts, 9.4% in math, and 6.7% in science — roughly 24 to 31 percentage points below state averages in each subject. About 73% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Comparisons with nearby schools are revealing. Lincoln Elementary School and Washington Elementary School, both in Woodburn, post similar or slightly lower results in most subjects. But Heritage Elementary, with a similar share of low-income students and similar per-pupil spending, reaches 19.8% in ELA, 17.0% in math, and 14.9% in science. Woodburn Arthur Academy posts 35.2% ELA and 22.5% math while spending far less per student ($9,225) and keeping a much smaller student-teacher ratio. Further out, Ninety-One School and St Paul Elementary School both exceed 50% ELA proficiency, and even Gervais Elementary School, which reports higher poverty indicators, outperforms Nellie Muir by wide margins. Nellie Muir's student-teacher ratio of 19.4 is the highest among these nearby schools.

One bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 28.1% in 2024–25, better than the district rate of 36.7% and the state rate of 33.5%, and far improved from 53.2% in 2021–22 — though more than one in four students is still chronically absent. Rankings for student groups such as low-income students, English learners, and boys and girls all sit near the bottom statewide, suggesting that improvement efforts would need to be broad rather than focused on a single group.
