Elementary Schools in Yoncalla School District 32

Yoncalla School District 32 in Oregon is home to a single elementary school, Yoncalla Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with a statewide ranking of 579 out of 710 schools for the 2023-2024 school year and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other elementary schools in the state.

Yoncalla Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade proficiency rates were 34.6% in ELA and 23.1% in Math, compared to the state averages of 39% and 39.9%, respectively. The school's science proficiency rates for 5th and 8th grade are also below the state averages. Additionally, 75% of the school's students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $23,981 in the Yoncalla School District 32 for the 2021-2022 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average, the school's academic performance remains well below the state averages. This raises questions about the effective use of resources and the need for targeted interventions to improve student learning. The school's low proficiency rates, particularly in mathematics, suggest a need for a closer examination of the curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems in place to help students succeed academically.
