Summary:
The David Douglas School District 40 in Oregon is home to 10 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The district faces challenges, with most schools performing below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. However, a few standout schools, such as Cherry Park Elementary and the public charter school Arthur Academy, consistently outperform the district and state averages.
Cherry Park Elementary is a top-performing school in the district, ranking among the best 211-256 elementary schools in Oregon over the past 3 years. It significantly outperforms the district and state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. In contrast, several schools, such as Mill Park Elementary, West Powellhurst Elementary, and Earl Boyles Elementary, have very low proficiency rates, especially in 5th grade Math and Science.
The public charter school Arthur Academy also stands out, ranking among the top 233-246 elementary schools in Oregon and outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, particularly in 3rd and 4th grades. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and student demographics, may be contributing to the performance gaps observed across the David Douglas School District 40.
