Summary:
The 97148 zip code area is home to two schools - Yamhill Carlton High School and Yamhill Carlton Intermediate School, both part of the Yamhill Carlton School District 1. Based on the available data, Yamhill Carlton High School stands out as the stronger performer, consistently ranking higher than the intermediate school and outperforming the state average on key test score metrics, particularly in English Language Arts.
The high school has a statewide ranking of 77 out of 268 Oregon high schools for the 2023-2024 school year and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It also spends more per student ($17,856) and has a lower student-teacher ratio (16.3) compared to the intermediate school ($13,694 per student and 20.0 student-teacher ratio). In contrast, the intermediate school struggles in Mathematics, with proficiency rates well below the state average across all grade levels.
While the intermediate school serves a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (33.54%) compared to the high school (28.08%), the differences in academic performance and resource allocation between the two schools suggest that factors beyond socioeconomic status may be contributing to the observed disparities. Further investigation into the specific practices and policies that contribute to the high school's stronger performance could provide valuable insights for the district and help identify areas for improvement at the intermediate school level.
