Summary:
The 97013 zip code in Oregon is home to a single middle school, Baker Prairie Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Canby School District 86, which is ranked 61 out of 140 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Baker Prairie Middle School has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 231 out of 368 Oregon middle schools in 2024-2025 to 286 out of 380 in 2022-2023. The school's academic performance is consistently below state averages across all grade levels and subjects tested, with only 39.7% of 7th graders and 31.4% of 8th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to state averages of 44.2% and 41.6% respectively. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 51.96% in 2023-2024.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $16,791 and a student-teacher ratio of 18.8 for the 2023-2024 school year, the academic results do not yet reflect the investment. The data suggests that Baker Prairie Middle School may be facing challenges in terms of student engagement, socioeconomic factors, and the implementation of effective strategies to improve student learning outcomes. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to help the school better serve its student population and improve its overall performance.
