Every Day Matters
Why Attendance

Consistent student attendance is one of the most important factors in academic success. When students are in class regularly, they build strong relationships, stay engaged in their learning, and don’t miss critical instruction. Even just a few absences can add up and create gaps in understanding that make it harder to keep up. Showing up each day helps students build good habits, stay on track, and reach their full potential both in school and beyond.


School Report Card

Each year, the Oregon Department of Education publishes school and district report cards. To learn more, visit the School Report Cards page.

Oregon At-A-Glance School Profile

The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) produces yearly At-A-Glance School and District Profiles for schools and districts. These reports, called for by the 1999 Oregon State legislature and the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) which is the most recent reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), provide educators an opportunity to communicate directly with parents and community members about their schools and district.
