Summary:

ZIP code 97527 has four elementary schools serving grades K–5: Redwood Elementary School and Allen Dale Elementary School, both in Grants Pass School District 7, and Madrona Elementary School and Fruitdale Elementary School, both in Three Rivers/Josephine County School District. Together they enroll 1,346 students, with school sizes ranging from 225 at Fruitdale to 443 at Redwood.

Redwood Elementary School is the strongest all-around performer in this group, with the highest ELA proficiency (52.4%) and the highest science proficiency (34.6%); its math score (45.7%) ranks second in the group. It is the only school here that beats the state in all three tested subjects, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 19.4% is far below the group, its district (31.8%) and the state (33.5%). Fruitdale Elementary School is the math standout, with the highest math proficiency (50.0%) and especially strong 3rd- and 4th-grade math results (63.9% and 66.0%). It also has the smallest enrollment, the lowest student-teacher ratio (15.0), the highest per-student spending ($21,541) and a 100% free/reduced-lunch rate, though its rank slipped from a 4-star, 85th-percentile school to a 3-star, 65th-percentile school.

Across the group, math is the shared strength: all four schools exceed the state math average of 32.9%, and group averages (ELA 45.2%, math 43.2%, science 25.0%) top the state in ELA and math. Science is the weak spot — only Redwood Elementary School exceeds the state's 30.6%, while Allen Dale Elementary School (21.4%), Madrona Elementary School (20.0%) and Fruitdale Elementary School (23.8%) trail well behind. Allen Dale is mixed: math (40.2%) above district and state, but ELA (41.9%) and science below, with chronic absenteeism at 31.5%. Madrona faces the greatest challenges — lowest ELA (36.4%) and science (20.0%), highest absenteeism (32.7%) — but its rank percentile improved from 19 to 42, and its 3rd-grade math (52.1%) is well above district and state. Third-grade math is strong across the group, but 5th-grade math falls sharply, and spending and class size show no simple relationship with achievement.
