Summary:
The city of Corvallis, Oregon is home to 13 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, all part of the Corvallis School District 509J. The district is ranked 10th out of 140 school districts in Oregon and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Within the district, a few schools stand out as top performers. Franklin School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with high proficiency rates across all grade levels. Bessie Coleman Elementary School also performs exceptionally well, ranking 66th out of 710 Oregon elementary schools. Both Cheldelin Middle School and Linus Pauling Middle School rank in the top 20% of Oregon middle schools, demonstrating strong academic performance.
However, the data also reveals areas for continued growth and improvement, particularly in addressing the achievement gaps between the district's highest and lowest-performing schools. Some elementary schools, such as Letitia Carson and Garfield, struggle to meet state averages, which may be correlated with their higher free and reduced-price lunch rates. By understanding the factors contributing to these challenges, the district can develop targeted strategies to support all schools and ensure more equitable outcomes for all students.
