Summary:
ZIP code 97048 contains just one elementary school: Hudson Park Elementary School in Rainier, Oregon, serving grades K–6 with 423 students as part of Rainier School District 13. Because it is the only school in this area, there is no local comparison — every figure below describes this school alone. The school currently holds a 1-star rating and ranked 555th of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2025–2026 (22nd percentile), up from 632nd of 706 (10th percentile) the prior year, a 77-position gain from a low base. The district ranks 87th of 141 (38th percentile, 2 stars).
Academically, the school trails the state in every all-grade subject. Math is the weakest area at 19.7% proficiency, 13.2 points below the state (32.9%); ELA is 32.4%, 11.4 points below (43.8%); and science is 20%, 10.6 points below (30.6%). The clear bright spot is 3rd grade ELA at 44%, which exceeds the state (41.5%) and matches the district (44%) — the only reported grade and subject where the school beats the state. Performance declines sharply in the upper grades: ELA falls from 44% in 3rd grade to 20.6% in 6th grade, and math slides from 34.7% in 3rd grade to 12.5% in both 5th and 6th grades. Math is lower than ELA at every grade level.
Several context factors matter. Chronic absenteeism is 44.7%, nearly half of students, which is 11.2 points above the state (33.5%) but 1.8 points below the district (46.5%). Free/reduced lunch participation is 88.18%, per-student spending is $19,268, and the student–teacher ratio is 19.2 — a high-need population with substantial investment, though without state or district benchmarks those last two figures cannot be fully compared. The biggest academic red flags are 5th and 6th grade math and 6th grade ELA; the strongest signals are 3rd grade ELA and the recent rank improvement.
