DRIFTWOOD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Driftwood Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Port Orford-Langlois SD 2CJ school district, located in Port Orford, OR with about 170 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 8 teachers, Driftwood Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 21:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Driftwood Elementary School, located in the coastal town of Port Orford, Oregon, serves as the primary elementary education center for the Central Curry School District 2C. Situated on Oregon Street, the school is deeply integrated into its small, tight-knit community. It provides a foundational learning environment for local children, focusing on core academic subjects while leveraging the unique geographic and cultural context of Oregon’s southern coast to foster student growth.

The school operates under the broader mission of the Central Curry School District, which emphasizes student achievement, community engagement, and the preparation of students for future academic success. As a rural educational institution, Driftwood Elementary prioritizes a supportive atmosphere where students benefit from smaller class sizes and personalized attention.
