The data reveals significant performance differences among these schools, with Sand Ridge Charter School standing out as a high-performing outlier, while other schools in the district struggle to meet state averages in academic proficiency.
Sand Ridge Charter School is ranked 93rd out of 710 Oregon elementary schools and boasts a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the district and state in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with 54-88% of students proficient or better. In contrast, the majority of the district's elementary schools perform below state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 20-51% in English Language Arts and 10-67% in Mathematics.

The district's elementary schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 68.59% to 99.05%. This presents unique challenges in terms of providing additional support and resources to address the needs of these students.
