text: The city of Ontario, Oregon is home to 9 schools serving grades K-12, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative charter school. While the Ontario School District 8C ranks 105 out of 140 districts in the state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars, there are some standout schools within the district that are outperforming their peers.
  The Four Rivers Community School, a public charter school, stands out with significantly higher test scores compared to the state and district averages, particularly in English Language Arts. Similarly, the Annex Charter School has strong proficiency rates in ELA and math, well above state averages, despite having a smaller student population of 82. In contrast, Ontario High School struggles, with only 41.1% of 11th graders proficient in ELA, 11% in math, and 19.9% in science - all well below state averages.
  A key finding is the high rates of free or reduced-price lunch eligibility across the district, ranging from 69.51% at Annex Charter to over 100% at several elementary schools. This indicates high levels of economic disadvantage that likely contribute to the overall low academic performance in the district. The data also reveals wide disparities in performance even within the district, with Alameda Elementary significantly outperforming May Roberts Elementary, despite being part of the same school system.
