Best Public Schools in Zip Code 97014

Summary:

The 97014 zip code has only one school, Cascade Locks School, which serves grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 79 students. The school is part of the Hood River County School District, which is ranked 40 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cascade Locks School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 225 out of 706 Oregon elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 601 out of 706 in 2022-2023. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 3 stars in 2024-2025 to 1 star in 2022-2023. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the district and state averages, with some exceptions in 4th-grade Mathematics. The school's 5th-grade proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science are particularly low, at 7.1% and 7.1%, respectively, compared to the district and state averages.

Despite the school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (68.35% in 2023-2024) and relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.4 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's academic performance has been declining. The relatively high per-student spending of $25,933 in the 2022-2023 school year does not appear to be translating into strong academic outcomes, raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the need to explore ways to improve the return on investment in education.
