Best Public Schools in Zip Code 97738


Summary:

The 97738 zip code is home to a single public middle school, Hines Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 164 students. The school is part of the Harney County School District 3, which is ranked 112 out of 140 school districts in Oregon and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hines Middle School's academic performance is a significant concern, as its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently below the state averages for Oregon. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the 8th-grade ELA proficiency rate at Hines Middle School was 28%, compared to the state average of 40.6%, and the 8th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 14.3%, compared to the state average of 26.4%. The school's performance has been consistently below state averages in recent years, with no clear trend of improvement.

Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as 49.39% of Hines Middle School students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. Despite the higher per-student spending of $18,460 and a relatively favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.9 for the 2022-2023 school year, the school's academic outcomes remain poor, raising questions about the effectiveness of resource allocation and the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of the student population.
