Best Public Schools in Union, OR


Summary:

The city of Union, Oregon is home to two schools - Union Elementary School and Union High School, both part of the Union School District 5. While Union High School is a standout performer, ranking in the top 15% of Oregon high schools, Union Elementary School appears to be struggling academically.

Union High School excels in several key areas, including a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, strong proficiency in English Language Arts (ELA) and science, and outperforming the state average in mathematics. In contrast, Union Elementary School has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, falling from the top third of Oregon elementary schools to the bottom third in just a few years. The elementary school also lags behind the state average in ELA proficiency across all grade levels.

Socioeconomic factors may play a role, as Union Elementary School has a much higher free/reduced lunch rate of 69.9% compared to 41.18% at Union High School. However, the high school's success suggests there may be effective teaching practices or other factors that could be studied and potentially replicated at the elementary school level to address the performance gap. Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at Union Elementary School.
