Stella Mayfield Elementary School

Stella Mayfield Elementary sits in the small, tight-knit ranching community of Elgin, tucked into the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon where the Grande Ronde River Valley stretches out around you. It's the kind of place where everyone knows everyone, and the school reflects that — small enough that kids don't get lost in the crowd, with English scores that sit closer to the middle of the pack statewide and math still developing. Families drawn to rural life, wide open spaces, and a genuine small-town upbringing will find Elgin to be a grounding place to raise kids, even as the school continues to build on its academic foundation.
