While the district as a whole is ranked 93 out of 140 school districts in Oregon and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, a few standout schools in the area are performing significantly better than others.
Thurston Elementary School consistently ranks among the top 20% of elementary schools in Oregon, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that are notably higher than the district and state averages. Douglas Gardens Elementary School also performs well, ranking in the top 35% of Oregon elementary schools with test scores above the district and state averages, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. While not as high-performing as the top two, Walterville Elementary School still stands out with test scores above the district and state averages in several grade levels and subjects.
In contrast, the high school, Thurston High School, has relatively low proficiency rates in 11th grade, with only 28.6% proficient in English Language Arts and 13.5% in Mathematics. The middle schools, Thurston Middle School and Agnes Stewart Middle School, have mixed performance, with some grade levels and subjects above the district and state averages, while others are below. The data reveals a significant disparity in academic performance between the top-performing and lower-performing schools, suggesting that factors beyond just economic disadvantage may be contributing to these differences.
