Summary:
Zip code 97525 (Gold Hill, Oregon) has exactly one elementary-level school: Patrick Elementary School, a K–8 campus at 1500 2nd Ave serving 255 students. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, there is no peer school to compare it with; instead, its results are measured against its district, Central Point School District 6, and against Oregon statewide averages. The record includes three years of state rankings, 2025–2026 OSAS test scores, and context metrics such as attendance, spending, and class size.
Patrick Elementary's clearest strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism is 22.5%, roughly 11 percentage points better than both its district (33.9%) and the state (33.5%). Academically, results are mixed. Math is the closest to par — All Grades math is 26.9%, essentially matching the district's 26.1% and beating it in 5th grade (27.9% vs 24.2%), though still about 6 points behind the state. English Language Arts trails badly at 28.4% versus 41.2% district and 43.8% state. Science is the weakest subject at 15.9%, roughly 12 points below the district and 15 below the state. Statewide, the school ranked 569th of 709 (20th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–2026 — its weakest of the past three years, after a 36th-percentile, 2-star showing in 2024–2025.
Context matters here. About 97.65% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, per-student spending is $22,390, and the student-teacher ratio is 17.2 — a small school with typical class sizes. A notable grade-level pattern: 3rd grade ELA and math are both exactly 21.7%, and 4th grade ELA and math are both exactly 31.1%, a jump of about 9.4 points in both subjects; 5th grade diverges (ELA 32.6%, math 27.9%). The 3rd grade cohort shows the largest gaps to the state, roughly 20 points behind in both subjects, making it the most acute pressure point. In short: attendance is a strength, literacy and science are the open challenges, and math is closest to district and state levels.
