The Sweet Home School District 55 in Oregon is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the district as a whole is ranked 89 out of 140 districts in the state and rated 2 out of 5 stars, there is significant variation in the performance of individual schools within the district.
The standout schools in the district are Sweet Home Charter School, which is ranked 286 out of 710 Oregon elementary schools and consistently rated 3 out of 5 stars, and Holley Elementary School, ranked 330 out of 710 and also rated 3 out of 5 stars. Both schools outperform the district and state averages in several academic metrics, including science and math proficiency. In contrast, other schools in the district, such as Hawthorne Elementary School, struggle to meet state and district standards.
The data also reveals that all schools in the Sweet Home School District 55 serve a predominantly low-income student population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 68.45% to 97.83%. This high poverty level may be a significant factor in the overall academic performance of the schools. Additionally, the district's spending per student varies widely, from $6,656 at Sweet Home Charter School to $16,263 at Hawthorne Elementary School, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be driving student outcomes.
