Summary:
The Rainier School District 13 in Oregon has only one elementary school, Hudson Park Elementary School, which has consistently performed below the state average on standardized tests. The school serves a population with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges.
Hudson Park Elementary School has ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools for the past three years, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 11.5% (3rd grade) to 36.1% (6th grade), compared to the state averages of 39% to 46.9%. In Mathematics, the proficiency rates ranged from 6.5% (3rd grade) to 22% (4th grade), compared to the state averages of 28.4% to 39.9%.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $16,565 in the 2021-2022 school year, the academic performance of Hudson Park Elementary School suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to better support the needs of its students. Without additional data from other schools in the district or region, it is difficult to make meaningful comparisons or identify any standout schools, but the consistent underperformance of Hudson Park Elementary is a clear area of concern that warrants further investigation.
