As a retired teacher aiding as a part time volunteer at Marcola Elementary School I have observed that the teachers and staff are well trained, dedicated and caring professionals. The teachers I have observed are proficient with and consistently use the best teaching strategies. They are aware of and efficiently meet the needs their students as individuals. The evidence of their efforts are shown in the results of standardized testing that shows each grade to consistently be above Oregons average in all academic areas. When funding is made available to improve or replace the structural facilities Marcola Elementary will be a superior school in all areas.

About the tests


In 2009-2010 Oregon used the Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (OAKS) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading and math; in grades 4, 7 and 10 in writing; and in grades 5, 8 and 10 in science. The OAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Oregon. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
