Washington Elementary School is a higher-need, mid-sized elementary school in Woodburn, Oregon, enrolling 429 students.
At 17.9:1, its student-teacher ratio sits close to the Oregon median, within a few percentage points of the 17.6:1 state norm, neither notably crowded nor notably small.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 50.5% lands close to the Oregon typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
Enrollment of 429 puts it in the larger third of Oregon schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 1,273 scored Oregon schools.
Among 156 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Oregon schools statewide, it ranks #113, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.

Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 52.2% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 19.2% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
