Summary:
The city of Warm Springs, Oregon has only one school, Warm Springs K-8 Academy, which serves grades kindergarten through 8th. The school is part of the Jefferson County School District 509J, which is ranked 136 out of 140 school districts in Oregon and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Warm Springs K-8 Academy does not appear to be a standout school, as it has consistently ranked in the bottom 5-10% of Oregon elementary schools over the past three school years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 11.5%, compared to the district average of 21.6% and the state average of 39%.
Despite the school's high per-student spending of $22,939 in the 2021-2022 school year and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.1 to 1, it is still struggling to achieve academic proficiency levels that are even close to the state and district averages. This suggests the school is facing significant challenges in improving student outcomes, which may be related to the school's very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 93.96% in the 2022-2023 school year.
