Summary:
The 97306 zip code area in Oregon is home to 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 middle school. While the schools serve a high-need population, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 42.91% to 91.99%, some schools in the area stand out for their strong academic performance.
Crossler Middle School, the only middle school in the list, has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing better than many other middle schools in the state. Pringle Elementary School has shown improvement in its statewide ranking over the past few years, while Sumpter Elementary School consistently performs above the Salem-Keizer School District 24J and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels.
However, not all schools in the area are performing at the same level. Battle Creek Elementary School and Lee Elementary School are struggling to meet state and district averages, suggesting there may be differences in factors such as teaching quality, curriculum, or school leadership that are contributing to the performance gaps. Addressing the needs of the high-poverty student population and identifying and replicating the practices of the top-performing schools could be key to improving educational outcomes in this community.
