Summary:
ZIP code 97115 covers Dundee, Oregon, and contains exactly one public school: Dundee Elementary School, an elementary school serving grades K–5 with 216 students in the Newberg School District 29J. Because it is the only school in the ZIP, there are no local peers to compare it against — the meaningful benchmarks are its own district and the state of Oregon as a whole.
On the 2025–2026 state tests, Dundee Elementary performs above average in every subject. In English language arts, 51.4% of students met the standard, versus 47.8% in the district and 43.8% statewide. In mathematics, 49.5% met the standard, compared with 42.2% district-wide and 32.9% statewide — nearly 1.5 times the state rate, and the school's clearest area of strength. In science, 38.5% met the standard, against 35.0% in the district and 30.6% in the state. Chronic absenteeism is 24.6%, better than both the district (29.4%) and the state (33.5%), though it still means roughly one in four students missed 10% or more of school days.
Context matters here: about 69% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, per-student spending is $21,732, and the student–teacher ratio is 13:1. Two things to watch. First, the school's relative rank has slipped from the 78th to the 73rd percentile over three years, even as absolute proficiency stayed high — rank is relative, proficiency is absolute, and both are true. Second, results are uneven by grade: third and fourth grade ELA fall below district levels, while fifth grade (64.1% ELA, 51.3% math) is what lifts the school's overall averages. With only about 36 students per grade, single-grade swings of a few percentage points can be driven by just a handful of students, so the all-grade figures are the steadier signal.
