Summary:
ZIP code 43616 in Oregon, Ohio contains six schools — two elementary (K–4), two middle (grades 5–6 and 7–8), and two high schools (9–12) — with 2,934 students total, five of them in the Oregon City district (2,895 students) and one, Eagle Learning Center, listed separately as its own district with 39 students; Oregon City ranks 274th of 773 districts statewide, at the 65th percentile with 3 stars.
At the elementary level, Coy Elementary is the clear standout: 75th percentile with 4 stars, the lowest chronic absenteeism in the ZIP at 10.2%, and 2025–26 results above the state in 3rd and 4th grade math and ELA. Starr Elementary serves a similar population — 52.12% free/reduced lunch versus Coy's 54.73% — with comparable spending and class sizes, yet ranks 50th percentile with 3 stars and scored below the district in all four reported tests, though still above the state in 4th grade math and ELA. Among middle schools, Fassett Junior High is improving (61st → 69th percentile) with Algebra I proficiency of 100% in 2025–26, while Eisenhower Intermediate posted strong 5th grade results but saw 6th grade math fall from 69.7% to 55.6%.
At the high school level, Clay High School graduates 94.4% of students — matching the district — and beats the state in American Government, American History, Biology and English II, but chronic absenteeism is 31.1% and its rank slipped to 49th percentile with 2 stars. Eagle Learning Center is tiny and faces extreme challenges, including 97.9% chronic absenteeism and a 38.1% graduation rate, and is best considered separately from Clay. Notably, spending and class size do not track closely with results, and the per-pupil spending figures date to 2018–19.
