Summary:
The 97466 zip code area is home to two small schools - Powers High School and Powers Elementary School, both part of the Powers School District 31. These schools face significant challenges, with declining academic performance, low test scores, and high rates of economic disadvantage among the student populations.
Powers High School has seen a dramatic drop in its statewide ranking, plummeting from 30th out of 292 Oregon high schools in 2015-2016 to 280th out of 283 in 2017-2018. Both Powers High School and Powers Elementary School have very low test scores, with only 10% of 8th-grade students at the high school scoring proficient or better in math, compared to the state average of 25.5%.
The schools also face significant economic challenges, with Powers High School having a 66.67% free/reduced lunch rate and Powers Elementary School having a 75.41% rate. While the small school sizes and low student-teacher ratios suggest a focus on individualized attention, the lack of scale and resources may be contributing to the poor academic outcomes. Addressing these issues will be crucial for improving educational opportunities for students in the 97466 zip code area.
