Summary:
ZIP code 97827 has exactly one elementary school: Stella Mayfield Elementary School, a PK–6 school in Elgin, Oregon, serving 204 students as part of Elgin School District 23. Because it is the only elementary school in this ZIP, there are no local peer schools to compare; the useful comparisons are to its district and to Oregon statewide results. The school serves a high-poverty population, with 73.53% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, and it has an 11.3:1 student-teacher ratio and $22,023 in per-student spending.
Academically, the school’s results are mixed. Overall proficiency is below Oregon in ELA (39.4 vs. 43.8), math (24.3 vs. 32.9), and science (26.7 vs. 30.6), though science is above the district’s 25.3. Grade-level results vary: 3rd- and 5th-grade ELA are both at 50% proficient, above state rates of 41.5% and 47.1%, while 4th-grade ELA is 27.8% vs. 43.5% statewide and 6th-grade ELA is 26.7% vs. 41.8%. Math is below state at every reported grade, with 6th-grade math especially low at 10.3% compared with 29.7% statewide. The school has a 2-star rating and ranked 452 of 709 schools in 2025–2026 (36th percentile). It has stayed at 2 stars across the last three years, with percentile moving from 30 to 45 to 36. Notably, the school’s grade-level scores match the district’s exactly in every reported row.
Attendance is a clear strength: chronic absenteeism is 20.2%, lower than the district’s 26.9% and the state’s 33.5%. The biggest academic priorities appear to be math overall, especially 6th-grade math, and ELA in 4th and 6th grades. The school’s relative bright spots are attendance and 3rd/5th-grade ELA, while science is closer to district performance than ELA or math. The data do not show why these patterns exist, but they offer a useful snapshot of where the school is doing comparatively well and where it faces pressure points.
