The Oregon Department of Education released the statewide 2023-24 assessment results for K-12 students. The results show areas of progress statewide as well as with many Douglas County school districts.

The assessment results are for English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics and Science. Overall, school districts in Douglas County showed improvements over the previous year in all categories, but most districts are still behind pre-pandemic proficiency levels.

In ELA testing, Days Creek was above its pre-pandemic levels, while Glendale was back at its pre-pandemic numbers. Sutherlin, Riddle and Camas Valley all saw decreases from their 2022-23 test results.

In math, once again Days Creek was above its pre-pandemic levels. Riddle and North Douglas saw dips in their proficiency numbers.

In science, Days Creek continued to see numbers above its pre-pandemic levels, along with Glendale and Winston-Dillard. Elkton, Glide, Riddle and Sutherlin all saw decreases from the previous year.

Days Creek was the only school to see its overall proficiency percentages rise above the levels prior to the pandemic in all categories. Elkton had the highest proficiency numbers for each category in the county but did not match its pre-pandemic success.

Riddle saw some of the lowest testing numbers in Douglas County.

Participation in assessment testing was on the rise statewide, but overall achievement in Oregon still trails pre-pandemic levels.
