Summary:
The 97914 zip code area in Oregon is home to 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Ontario School District 8C, except for the Annex Charter School which is part of the Annex School District 29. The performance of these schools varies, with some standout institutions and others facing challenges.
The Four Rivers Community School, a public charter alternative school, stands out with the highest performance across various test score metrics compared to the state and district averages. For instance, in 2023-2024, 82.6% of 11th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, significantly higher than the 45.2% statewide average. The Annex Charter School, a public charter elementary/middle school, also performs well, with 66.7% of 6th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 58.3% in Mathematics, surpassing state averages. Additionally, Aiken Elementary School stands out with higher than average test scores, particularly in Mathematics.
However, the majority of schools in the 97914 zip code area tend to have lower proficiency rates compared to state averages, with most schools having very high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 85.87% to 104.88%, indicating significant economic challenges faced by the student populations. The wide range in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools suggests that resource allocation and staffing levels may be factors in the schools' performance. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the educational disparities observed in this area.
