The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools over the past three years, indicating a need for improvement in student academic achievement.

Tangent Elementary School faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates on state assessments (OSAS) generally below the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and community engagement will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes for the students at Tangent Elementary School.
