Summary:
The 97009 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school, all part of the Oregon Trail School District 46. This highly-ranked district, scoring 11 out of 140 in the state, is led by the exceptional Oregon Trail Academy, a public charter elementary/middle school that consistently ranks among the top in the state.
Oregon Trail Academy stands out with its exceptional test scores, with 75-92% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 55-82% in math across grades 3-8. The school also boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 81.8% and spends significantly less per student ($5,467) compared to the other schools in the area. In contrast, the other schools in the 97009 zip code have more mixed academic results, with Boring Middle School performing above the district and state averages in ELA but below in math, and Kelso Elementary and Naas Elementary showing a mix of above and below-average performance.
One area of concern across all 4 schools is the high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.3% to 34.3%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools have varying free/reduced lunch rates, from 30.13% at Oregon Trail Academy to 59.46% at Naas Elementary, indicating differences in the socioeconomic demographics of the student populations. Overall, the 97009 zip code is home to a highly-ranked school district, led by the exceptional Oregon Trail Academy, but with room for improvement in addressing chronic absenteeism and ensuring more consistent academic outcomes across all schools.
