Summary:
The Nestucca Valley School District 101J in Oregon has only one elementary school, Nestucca K8, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The school has consistently performed at the bottom of Oregon's elementary schools, ranking 577 out of 710 in the 2023-2024 school year with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Nestucca K8's academic performance is significantly below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better ranged from 14.7% in 3rd grade ELA to 48.6% in 8th grade ELA, and 11.4% in 8th grade Math to 26.8% in 4th grade Math. The school's Science proficiency rates were also low, with only 6.8% of 5th-graders and 27.8% of 8th-graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 30.6% and 25.9%, respectively.
Despite the district's high spending of $27,105 per student, which is significantly higher than the state average, the school's academic performance has remained consistently poor. Additionally, 70.2% of Nestucca K8 students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The school's student-teacher ratio of 19.1 is slightly higher than the typical recommended ratio, which may also contribute to the challenges the school faces in improving student outcomes.
