Summary:
The 97060 zip code area is home to 6 schools serving grades K-12, all part of the Reynolds School District 7, which is ranked 137 out of 140 school districts in Oregon and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the district as a whole is performing poorly, a few individual schools stand out, including Reynolds Arthur Academy, a public charter elementary school that consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, and Troutdale Elementary School, another public elementary school that also exceeds the district average.
The data reveals a wide range in spending per student, from $9,513 at Reynolds Arthur Academy to $18,375 at Sweetbriar Elementary School, as well as student-teacher ratios ranging from 5.9 at The Creeks alternative school to 21.8 at Reynolds High School. Most of the schools have high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, suggesting a significant population of economically disadvantaged students in the area.
While the overall academic performance of the schools in the 97060 zip code area is below the state averages, the data highlights the potential for improvement, particularly through alternative approaches like the charter school model. Addressing the systemic issues within the Reynolds School District 7 and exploring more effective resource allocation could be key to enhancing the educational outcomes for students in this community.
