Summary:
The 97463 zip code area is home to three schools - Oakridge Elementary School, Oakridge High School, and Oakridge Junior High School, all part of the Oakridge School District 76. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages on key metrics like test scores and statewide rankings.
Across all three schools, proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are significantly below state averages, ranging from just 5% to 35% proficient. The schools' statewide rankings are also very low, with Oakridge Elementary and Junior High earning 1-2 out of 5 stars, and Oakridge High earning 1-3 stars. These low academic outcomes are coupled with extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating high levels of poverty in the community, which can be a major factor in student performance.
Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratios and high per-student spending, particularly at Oakridge High School, the data suggests these schools are struggling to effectively translate resources into improved academic achievement. Addressing the challenges facing these schools will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted investments, community engagement, and evidence-based interventions to support student learning and success.
