Summary
Heritage Elementary is a K–5 school at 440 Parr Rd in Woodburn, OR, serving 678 students, the largest elementary in this comparison set. It is part of Woodburn School District 103, which ranks 139th of 141 Oregon districts. Statewide, Heritage ranks in the 6th percentile among Oregon elementary schools (669th of 709 in 2025–2026), with 0 stars. About 73% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, and chronic absenteeism was 36.7% in 2024–2025, above the state rate of 33.5%. Per-student spending is $21,701, with a 16.5:1 student–teacher ratio.
On 2025–2026 OSAS tests, Heritage's all-grade proficiency was 19.8% in ELA, 17.0% in math, and 14.9% in science—roughly half the state averages. Within Woodburn School District 103, Heritage outperforms Nellie Muir Elementary School, Lincoln Elementary School, and Washington Elementary School in all three subjects. However, Woodburn Arthur Academy, a much smaller school, outperforms Heritage in all subjects while spending far less per student. Compared with nearby outside-district schools, Heritage lags St Paul Elementary School, Ninety-One School, Gervais Elementary School, North Marion Intermediate School, and St Marys Public School in ELA and math. Its chronic absenteeism is also much higher than nearby schools like St Paul (10.7%) and Ninety-One (21.4%).
Math is a relative strength for Heritage, with all-grade math nearly double the district average and 3rd-grade math 7.8 points above the district. But 4th-grade math is a clear weak point at 10.3%, below the district's 11.7% and far below the state's 38.9%. Subgroup effectiveness is a concern, especially for English Language Learner students, whose ranking dropped to the 18th percentile in 2025 from 33rd–35th in 2023–2024, and for low-SES students, consistently at the 6th percentile. Attendance has improved from 54.9% in 2021–2022 to 36.7% in 2024–2025 but remains a constraint. Overall, Heritage is a relative bright spot in a very low-performing district, but proficiency remains about half the state average, and resource levels do not simply explain outcomes.
