Oregon Public
Schools Third
Best in Nation
Salem -WPD- Oregon public
school! are third best in the
nation, according to a report
on elementary education in
Oregon that will be presented
to the State Board of Educa
tion here next Wednesday.
The ranking Is contained in
a research report of the Na
tional Education Association.
Research included 20 edu
cational factors.
The report says that in
1959-60. Oregon had 1,041
elementary schools in 544
school districts. To staff them,
9,644 teachers were assigned
to general classroom teaching
in kindergarten through the
eighth grade.
In addition schools em-
cloyed 904 principals, 134
superintendents and 53 super
visors plus 36 county school
superintendents.
Of the 1,041 schools, only
four-three in Columbia coun
ty and one in Marlon county
- were nonstandard, accord
ing to state regulations.
State support is withheld
from nonstandard schools,
Some 'Conditional'
Some 339 of the standard
schools were rated "condition
ally standard," meaning they
have submitted improvement
plans to correct deficiencies.
Another 64 were rated "stand
ard with advice," meaning
they may not meet all require
ments but the requirements
were passed after the school
came into existence and the
changes are not feasible.
Of the 247,862 Oregon ele
mentary school children in
the last school year, 89.3 per
cent studied under a teacher
who taught only one grade,
The average grade school
Inst yenr employed slightly
more than 10 teachers - an
increase of two teachers per
school since 1956.
The report said districts in
Oregon have school years of
varying lengths. First class
districts tend to have a longer
school year.
The 1959-60 year varied
from 170 to 190 days.
"As a whole," the report
said, "teachers' preparation
and training are better than
commonly believed to be."
