Summary:
ZIP code 97014 is served by one public elementary school, Cascade Locks School, a K–5 campus in Cascade Locks, Oregon, within the Hood River County School District, enrolling 65 students. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP code, parents should focus on this school’s own results and how they compare with district and state averages.
In 2025–2026 OSAS testing, the school’s all-grades English Language Arts proficiency is 54.8%, above the district’s 47.1% and the state’s 43.8%; 4th-grade ELA is 60.0%, versus 51.0% in the district and 43.5% statewide. Mathematics is mixed: all-grades math is 35.5%, above the state’s 32.9% but slightly below the district’s 36.4%, while 4th-grade math is 30.0% and 5th-grade math is 30.8%, both below district and with 5th grade slightly below state. Science is the relative weak point at 23.1%, below the district’s 33.5% and the state’s 30.6%. Third-grade ELA and mathematics are suppressed by the state, so those results are unknown and should not be read as zero. Chronic absenteeism is 32.8%, slightly below the state’s 33.5% but above the district’s 29.0%. The school also reports 70.77% free/reduced lunch participation, $39,126 in per-student spending, and a 7.5:1 student-teacher ratio.
Rank history shows 2 stars and 40th percentile in 2023–2024, 3 stars and 68th percentile in 2024–2025, and 3 stars and 50th percentile in 2025–2026, when it ranked 351 out of 709. The district ranks 46 of 141 and sits at the 67th percentile with 3 stars, so the school is near the state median while its district is above average. This fits a pattern of stronger ELA results than the district but trailing in math and science. Overall, ELA is the clearest bright spot, science is the main academic concern, math is mixed, and attendance is close to the state average. The small enrollment, high poverty, very high per-student spending, and low student-teacher ratio make this a distinctive but small school where year-to-year swings can be volatile.
