Summary:
The 97112 zip code area is home to two schools - Nestucca K8 and Nestucca High School, both part of the Nestucca Valley School District 101J. Unfortunately, these schools have struggled with low academic performance, consistently scoring below state averages in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
Nestucca K8 and Nestucca High School both have high poverty rates, with over 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite high per-student spending, particularly at Nestucca High School which spends nearly $40,000 per student, the schools have failed to translate this investment into improved outcomes. In fact, Nestucca High School's statewide ranking has dropped in recent years, indicating a concerning trend of declining performance.
Overall, the data paints a picture of two underperforming schools serving economically disadvantaged communities. Addressing the root causes of this poor performance, such as resource allocation, instructional quality, and support for high-need students, will be crucial for improving the educational opportunities in this area and ensuring all students have access to a quality education.
