Summary:
The 97027 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. Overall, the schools in this area demonstrate a mix of academic performance, with some standout elementary and middle schools, but potential challenges at the high school level.
John Wetten Elementary School and Walter L Kraxberger Middle School both maintain a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking in the top half of Oregon schools in their respective categories. These schools generally perform at or above the district and state averages in English Language Arts, with John Wetten Elementary particularly strong in 3rd and 4th grade test scores. However, the middle school's Mathematics and Science scores lag behind the district and state.
In contrast, Gladstone High School appears to be an area of concern, with 11th-grade test scores significantly lower than the district and state averages, particularly in Mathematics. The high school's performance may be influenced by the relatively high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients across the schools in the 97027 zip code, suggesting a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The district may need to explore targeted interventions and support to address these challenges and improve educational outcomes for all students.
