Summary:
The 97439 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is a virtual school), all part of the Siuslaw School District 97J. These schools serve a total of 1,255 students and face challenges related to academic performance and socioeconomic factors.
Siuslaw Elementary School and Siuslaw Middle School outperform the state average in several subjects, while Siuslaw High School lags behind. The high schools also spend more per student than the elementary and middle schools, potentially indicating a focus on providing additional resources for high school students. However, the lower student-teacher ratios at the middle school level suggest a strategic allocation of resources to support students during the critical middle school years.
Across all schools, the consistently high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 67.54% to 67.78%, indicate a relatively high-need student population in the 97439 zip code area. This socioeconomic factor may require additional support and resources to ensure academic success for students. The presence of Ocean Dunes High School, a virtual public high school, provides an alternative educational option, but its small size and lack of performance data make it difficult to assess its effectiveness in serving the community.
