The Hood River County School District in Oregon is home to 5 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The district's schools display a range of academic performance, with Westside Elementary School emerging as the standout, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state. In contrast, Mid Valley Elementary School, Parkdale Elementary School, and Cascade Locks School appear to be the lower-performing schools in the district.

Westside Elementary School has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, with over 75% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts. May Street Elementary School also stands out, with a 4-star rating and strong test scores, particularly in 4th and 5th grade. However, the lower-performing schools in the district, such as Mid Valley Elementary School and Cascade Locks School, have lower SchoolDigger ratings and test scores below the district and state averages.

The data also reveals variations in key metrics, such as free and reduced lunch rates, spending per student, and student-teacher ratios, across the schools. The higher rates of economic disadvantage and lower spending at some schools may contribute to their lower academic performance, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and more equitable distribution of resources within the Hood River County School District.
