Summary:
The 61061 zip code area is home to two schools - Oregon Elementary School and Oregon Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Oregon CUSD 220 district. While the elementary school consistently outperforms the high school academically, the high school maintains an impressive graduation rate despite facing challenges with student engagement and attendance.
Oregon Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, with 4-star ratings and above-average proficiency rates in ELA and Math compared to the district and state. However, the school serves a relatively economically disadvantaged student population, with over 52% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, Oregon Junior/Senior High School lags behind in academic measures, with 2-star ratings and below-average proficiency rates, but maintains an impressive 98.3% four-year graduation rate.
Attendance and engagement appear to be a challenge at the high school level, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% compared to the elementary school's 17.6%. This disparity in attendance may be contributing to the high school's lower academic performance. Overall, the data suggests that while Oregon Elementary School is a strong-performing school, the Oregon Junior/Senior High School faces some challenges that could benefit from further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
