Summary:
The 97112 zip code area is home to two schools - Nestucca K8, an elementary/middle school serving grades K-8, and Nestucca High School, the sole high school in the area. Both schools are part of the Nestucca Valley School District 101J, which is ranked 99 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, the two schools have shown divergent performance. Nestucca K8 has struggled, ranking in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools and having relatively low proficiency rates, especially in math. In contrast, Nestucca High School has performed better, ranking in the top half of Oregon high schools and achieving higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science compared to the state average. This difference may be attributed to the higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio at the high school.
Both schools face significant challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism (34.3% at each school) and a large majority of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (71.79% at Nestucca K8 and 68.52% at Nestucca High School). Addressing these socioeconomic factors and attendance issues will be crucial for improving student outcomes across the district.
