Summary:
The city of Veneta, Oregon is home to two schools: Veneta Elementary School, which serves grades K-5, and West Lane Charter School, a smaller high school serving grades 9-12. Based on the available data, Veneta Elementary School appears to be the stronger-performing school in the area, with steadily improving statewide rankings, higher test scores than the district and state averages, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio.
Veneta Elementary School has 358 students and its statewide ranking has improved from 361st out of 706 Oregon elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 215th out of 710 in 2023-2024. The school's test scores, particularly in mathematics, are generally higher than the Fern Ridge School District 28J and state averages. In contrast, West Lane Charter School is a smaller high school with only 60 students and has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon high schools.
While Veneta Elementary School appears to be the standout school in the area, there is still room for improvement, particularly in areas like 5th grade science proficiency. The significant difference in spending per student between the two schools suggests that the district may be allocating resources more heavily towards the larger, traditional public school. Overall, the data indicates that Veneta Elementary School is the stronger-performing school option in Veneta, Oregon.
