Best Public Schools in Zip Code 97317

Summary:

The 97317 zip code area in Oregon is home to two elementary schools - Miller Elementary School and Four Corners Elementary School. Based on the available data, Miller Elementary appears to be the standout school in the area, outperforming Four Corners on several key metrics.

Miller Elementary has a higher statewide school ranking, with a ranking of 650 out of 710 Oregon elementary schools, compared to Four Corners' ranking of 708 out of 710. Additionally, Miller Elementary has a higher percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics across multiple grade levels, often exceeding the Salem-Keizer School District 24J and state averages. For the 2022-2023 school year, Miller Elementary received a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, while Four Corners received a 0-star rating.

However, both schools face challenges, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (72.1% at Four Corners and 75.62% at Miller) and lower academic performance compared to district and state averages, particularly in mathematics. The difference in per-student spending between the two schools ($19,765 for Four Corners vs. $16,996 for Miller) suggests that there may be funding disparities that could impact the resources and support available to students. Despite these challenges, there may be opportunities for collaboration between the two schools to share best practices and improve student outcomes.
