Summary:
Culver, Oregon is a small rural community where the public schools all belong to Culver School District 4, which serves roughly 653 students across three schools: Culver Elementary School (K–5, 262 students), Culver Middle School (6–8, 162 students), and Culver High School (9–12, 229 students), with no alternative school listed. The district overall ranks 115th of 141 in Oregon, at the 18th percentile with 1 star, and that same district rank appears for all three schools, so it is district-level context rather than a school-specific ranking.
Each school has a distinct profile. Culver Middle School is the clear bright spot in English language arts, with 55.3% of students proficient — above the district's 47.5% and the state's 43.8% — and the lowest chronic absenteeism at 21.7%. Its math tells the opposite story: 14.2% proficient, below the district's 20.1% and the state's 32.9%. Culver Elementary School beats the district in math (26.1%) and science (23.1%) but trails the state in both, and its ELA (40.3%) sits below both district and state; absenteeism there is 24.6%, better than the state's 33.5%. Culver High School graduates 94.8% of students, well above the state's 83.0%, yet reports just 31.3% ELA and 5.7% science proficiency, with chronic absenteeism at 37.4% and a rank in the 5th percentile with 0 stars. High school math is suppressed by the state, so it is unknown — not a zero and not a proven weakness.
Across the district, about 70% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a similar socioeconomic picture at all three schools. Spending is highest at the high school, at $21,630 per student with a 16.6 student-teacher ratio. Recent rank trends are mostly downward, and math is the most consistent academic weakness.
