Summary:

The 97499 zip code area is home to two schools - Yoncalla Elementary School and Yoncalla High School, both part of the Yoncalla School District 32. While the elementary school consistently underperforms on state assessments, the high school's performance is more variable, with some grade levels performing better than others. Both schools serve a student population with a very high percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges in the community.

Yoncalla Elementary School, which serves grades K-8, has an enrollment of 160 students and spends $23,981 per student. However, the school has consistently low performance on state assessments, with proficiency rates well below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels.

The data suggests that the high school receives more resources per student, which may contribute to its more variable performance compared to the consistently low-performing elementary school. However, both schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with 75% of Yoncalla Elementary School students and 85.26% of Yoncalla High School students eligible for free/reduced lunch. Further investigation may be needed to understand the root causes of these trends and identify potential areas for improvement to support the educational needs of the community.
