Schools in Zip Code 97068

ZIP code 97068 covers West Linn, Oregon, where 10 schools serving pre-kindergarten through 12th grade educate 5,218 students — six elementaries, two middle schools, one 4–8 charter, and one high school — all within West Linn-Wilsonville School District 3J, which ranks 7th of 141 Oregon districts (95th percentile, 5 stars). Nine are traditional district schools; Three Rivers Charter School is the only charter and the smallest at 108 students.

The ZIP is a statewide outlier: every school beats Oregon averages in both reading and math, and nine of ten beat the state in science. Stafford Primary School is the academic benchmark — 31st of 709 Oregon elementaries (96th percentile), with the top math (71.7%) and ELA (73.9%) scores in the set and a 3rd-grade math proficiency of 86.7%. Cedaroak Park Primary School (95th percentile) posts the best elementary science score, 59.5%, despite having one of the ZIP's highest free/reduced-lunch rates at 44.25%. West Linn High School graduates 98.6% of students versus Oregon's 83.0% and has the highest ELA score at any level, 69.5%.

Three things stand out for parents. First, West Linn High School's math proficiency is 39.9% — the lowest math figure here — creating a 29.6-point ELA–math gap, and its chronic absenteeism of 34.9% is the only rate in the ZIP above the district (25.9%) and state (33.5%); every elementary and middle school sits between 13% and 21%. Second, Athey Creek Middle School's 8th-grade science score of 19.7% is the only subject score in the ZIP below the state average, though its reading and math remain above state. Third, spending doesn't track results: Bolton Primary School spends the most ($21,652) but has the lowest elementary outcomes, while Three Rivers Charter School reports $5,827 per student — not directly comparable to district figures — with mid-pack results.
