Summary:
ZIP code 97112, in the Cloverdale area of Oregon, has just one elementary school: Nestucca K8, a PK–8 school with 336 students that belongs to Nestucca Valley School District 101J. Because it is the only school in the ZIP code, there are no local peers to compare it against, so all of the information below compares Nestucca K8 with its district and with Oregon as a whole.
Academically, the school trails the state in every tested subject. In 2025–2026 OSAS results, all-grade English Language Arts proficiency was 23.1% against 43.8% statewide, math was 13.4% against 32.9%, and science was 10.7% against 30.6% — gaps of roughly 20 percentage points in each subject. Fifth grade is the clearest weak spot: ELA was 5.9% versus 47.1% statewide, and both math and science were under 5%. Eighth grade is mixed — ELA was 32.5%, the school's strongest result and only about 9 points below the state, but 8th grade math was 7.5%. Other relative bright spots are 3rd grade ELA at 31.4%, 7th grade math at 19.0%, and 8th grade science at 17.1%, though each still falls short of state levels. Grade-level rates come from small groups of students, so they can swing noticeably from year to year.
Outside of test scores, 93.75% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, indicating very high economic need, and per-student spending was $22,926 with a student-teacher ratio of 17.6. Chronic absenteeism was 34.1%, slightly above the state's 33.5% but below the district's 36.9%. The school's state rank has been low and mostly declining: 577 of 710 with 1 star in 2023–2024, then 655 of 706 and 654 of 709 with 0 stars in the two most recent years. The district itself ranks 123 of 141.
