Summary:
ZIP code 97024 (Fairview, Oregon) has exactly one high school: Reynolds Learning Academy, a grades 7–12 school with 183 students in Reynolds School District 7. Parents should know this is not a standard 9–12 neighborhood comprehensive — its small size, grade span, and staffing point to an academy or alternative/credit-recovery setting, which matters when reading its numbers. With only one school in the ZIP, district and state figures are the only meaningful comparisons.
Measured outcomes sit well below both benchmarks. Chronic absenteeism is 90.5%, compared with 45.3% in the district and 33.5% statewide — about nine in ten students. The graduation rate is 36.4%, versus 74.1% district and 83.0% state. In ELA and math, proficiency is reported as under 5% at both all grades and 11th grade; that is a bound, not a zero — the state suppresses the exact figure because the group is small. Science is the one academic subject with a precise value, 7.7%, against 13.7% district-wide and 30.6% statewide. Rank history shows a 3rd-percentile finish, then a dead-last 268 of 268 (0th percentile) in 2023–24, then 3rd percentile again — flat overall with one very bad year.
Two things stand out beyond outcomes. First, resources are high: $34,054 per student and a 9.8:1 student-teacher ratio, an unusually staff-rich, high-spend profile. The data cannot show whether those resources are not translating into results or are being directed at students with acute needs the standard metrics don't capture; given the 7–12 academy structure, the second explanation deserves real weight. Second, the free/reduced lunch figure of 115.85% cannot be a literal percentage — treat it as a sign of a very high-poverty population and a data-quality concern, not a number. Note also that test scores are labeled 2025–26 while attendance, graduation, spending, and staffing are 2024–25. Parents should ask the school directly about attendance supports, credit recovery, and graduation pathways.
