Summary:
The 97041 zip code area has only one school, Parkdale Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 and is part of the Hood River County School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently below the district and state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas.
Parkdale Elementary School's student population is evenly split between White and Hispanic students, with a small percentage of students identifying as two or more races. However, the school has a high percentage (68%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. This socioeconomic challenge may contribute to the school's academic performance concerns.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending, the low academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science suggest that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions, additional resources, or specialized programs to help improve student learning and achievement at Parkdale Elementary School. Comparing the school's performance to the district and state averages can provide valuable insights and identify best practices that could potentially be implemented to support the school's improvement efforts.
