Summary:
ZIP code 43616 in Oregon, Ohio is served by two middle-level schools in the Oregon City district: Eisenhower Intermediate School, which covers grades 5–6 with 494 students, and Fassett Junior High School, which covers grades 7–8 with 473 students. Together they serve about 967 students, and because they cover consecutive grade bands, they are best understood as two stages of one district pipeline rather than as competing schools.
Both schools have real academic strengths. Eisenhower Intermediate School shines in grade 5, where math reached 77.8% proficient versus 59.1% statewide in 2025–2026, and 80.8% versus 56.7% the year before; grade 5 science and ELA were also above state. Its grade 6 results were more mixed, with math slightly below state and ELA matching it. Fassett Junior High School posts the most striking number in the data: Algebra I End-of-Course proficiency of 100% in 2025–2026 and 98.8% in 2024–2025, far above district and state. That said, Algebra I typically reflects a smaller, advanced cohort, so it should not be read as all 8th graders performing at that level. Fassett's grade 7 ELA also jumped to 80.4% versus 62.7% statewide.
Attendance is the biggest contrast between the two. Fassett Junior High School reports 22.4% chronic absenteeism, above the Oregon City district rate of 19.6%, while Eisenhower Intermediate School is at 13.7% — 8.7 points lower. Fassett's rank history is improving (61st to 63rd to 69th percentile), while Eisenhower's available history is older but stronger (70th and 78th percentile, 4 stars). A few caveats: Eisenhower's reported grade 7 math score of 100 conflicts with its 5–6 grade span and looks like an anomaly, its free/reduced lunch figure is blank rather than zero, and test scores are percent proficient, not growth, so comparisons across grades and years should stay cautious.
