Schools in Zip Code 97023

ZIP code 97023 serves the Estacada area of Oregon, with four schools in Estacada School District 108: two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, together enrolling 1,957 students. The district is ranked 36th of 141 in Oregon, at the 74th percentile with 4 stars, but that overall rating masks large differences among the individual schools.

The two elementary schools are the clear bright spots. River Mill Elementary School and Clackamas River Elementary School both rank at the 60th percentile with 3 stars, and both beat the state in ELA, math, and science at the all-grade level despite free/reduced lunch rates above 53%. Clackamas River posts the strongest ELA (51.8%) and science (37.0%) results in the ZIP code and the lowest chronic absenteeism at 28.8%. River Mill is close behind, with ELA 50.0%, math 36.4%, and absenteeism 31.2%. Both are below district and state absenteeism averages, and both have improved their rankings since 2023–2024.

The secondary schools trail well behind. Estacada Middle School has been rated 1 star for three straight years and scores below district and state in every subject — ELA 30.0%, math 20.8%, science 19.7% — while carrying the highest chronic absenteeism at 35.1%. Estacada High School is the most striking case: math proficiency is 8.7% versus 32.9% statewide, roughly a 24-point gap, even though it spends the most per student ($18,821) and has the highest student-teacher ratio (24.2). Its graduation rate of 82.9% matches the state but trails the district's 92.2%. In short, the district's solid overall rating is largely carried by its two elementaries, while middle and high school outcomes — especially in math — are the areas most in need of attention.
