Summary:
The city of Woodburn, Oregon is home to 10 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The Woodburn School District 103 faces significant challenges, with the district ranked 140 out of 140 in Oregon and rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Within the district, a few schools stand out. Woodburn Arthur Academy, a public charter elementary school, has the highest performance on state assessments, with 39.1% of 5th graders proficient in English Language Arts compared to the district average of 16.7%. Nellie Muir Elementary School also has stronger performance metrics, with 28.2% of 5th graders proficient in English Language Arts. In contrast, Woodburn Success, an alternative high school, has very low proficiency rates, with only 5.7% of 11th graders proficient in English Language Arts.
The Woodburn School District as a whole faces significant performance gaps, with proficiency rates on state assessments well below the Oregon state averages. This is likely driven by the high levels of economic disadvantage in the community, as indicated by the free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 50.46% to 79.31% across the schools. While the district faces challenges, the data suggests there are pockets of success, and identifying and scaling the practices at higher-performing schools could help improve outcomes across the district.
