Elementary Schools in Colton School District 53

Colton School District 53 in Oregon has only one elementary school, Colton Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, Colton Elementary School does not appear to be a standout performer compared to other schools in the district or the state of Oregon.

Colton Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, has been consistently below the district and state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three school years, from 416 out of 706 Oregon elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 614 out of 710 in 2023-2024. In the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 20.6% (3rd grade) to 41.4% (5th grade), compared to the state averages of 39% (3rd grade) and 46.9% (5th grade). The school's performance in mathematics is particularly low, with only 6.9% of 5th-grade students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 31.4%.

Despite the school's high per-student spending of $20,701 in the 2021-2022 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average, the academic outcomes at Colton Elementary School remain a concern. The school also serves a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 36.22% in the 2022-2023 school year, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school. Overall, the data suggests that Colton School District 53 and its sole elementary school have room for improvement in providing a high-quality education for their students.
