Summary:
The Forest Grove School District 15 in Oregon is home to 7 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across these schools, with some standouts like Dilley Elementary and Forest Grove Community School consistently outperforming the district and state averages, while others struggle to meet proficiency standards.
Dilley Elementary and Forest Grove Community School stand out as the highest-performing elementary schools in the district. Dilley has earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks among the top 205 elementary schools in Oregon, while Forest Grove Community School, a public charter school, ranks in the top 235 schools statewide. Both schools demonstrate strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics well above the district and state averages.
In contrast, schools like Echo Shaw Elementary, Joseph Gale Elementary, and Cornelius Elementary have significantly lower proficiency rates, often less than 25% of students meeting standards. These disparities appear to be closely linked to the schools' poverty levels, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, with the highest-poverty schools consistently underperforming academically. While per-student spending and student-teacher ratios vary across the district, these factors do not seem to directly correlate with academic achievement, suggesting the need for more targeted interventions and support to address the achievement gaps within the Forest Grove School District 15.
