Summary:
The Mount Hood Parkdale area is home to a single elementary school, Parkdale Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 and has a total enrollment of 275 students. The school is part of the Hood River County School District, which is ranked 38 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.
Parkdale Elementary School's academic performance is mixed compared to the district and state averages. While the school's 5th grade proficiency rates in ELA and Science are higher than the district and state, its overall proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics are generally lower. Additionally, the school's performance has declined over the past three years, with lower proficiency rates in 2022-2023 compared to 2023-2024. The school serves a high-need student population, with 68% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, the declining academic performance suggests that the allocation of resources may not be fully effective in driving student outcomes. Addressing the declining performance, understanding the school's strengths, and ensuring effective resource allocation could be key focus areas for improvement at Parkdale Elementary School.
