Best Public Schools in Zip Code 97014

Summary:

The 97014 zip code has only one school, Cascade Locks School, which serves elementary students (grades K-5) in the Hood River County School District. While the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are higher than the district and state averages, its 5th-grade proficiency rates are significantly lower, suggesting challenges in maintaining academic achievement as students progress through the grades.

Cascade Locks School has seen a declining statewide ranking over the past three years, from 626 out of 706 Oregon elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 429 out of 710 in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating. This decline in performance relative to other schools in the state is concerning. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (69.32%), indicating it serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, which may require additional resources and support.

Despite the high spending per student at Cascade Locks School ($22,488), the declining academic performance raises questions about the effectiveness of this spending. The school's small size, with only 88 students enrolled, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4 suggest that the school may have unique challenges that require further investigation to understand how to best support the students and improve their educational outcomes.
