Summary:
The Silver Falls School District 4J in Oregon is home to 11 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. These schools vary significantly in size, with student populations ranging from 67 to 378 students. While the district as a whole is ranked 25th out of 140 districts in the state and rated 4 stars, there is notable variation in the quality and outcomes of individual schools within the district.
Several schools stand out as top performers, including Victor Point Elementary School, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Oregon with exceptional test scores, and Evergreen Elementary School and Pratum Elementary School, which are both small schools that have been ranked as some of the best in the state. These high-performing schools demonstrate strong student outcomes across multiple grade levels in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
In contrast, other schools in the district, such as Scotts Mills Elementary School and Central Howell Elementary School, struggle with lower proficiency rates. The data suggests an inverse relationship between a school's free and reduced lunch rate, a proxy for socioeconomic status, and its student test scores. This highlights the importance of analyzing school-level data to identify areas for improvement and target resources to support student success across the district.
