Summary:
The 97136 zip code in Oregon is home to two schools: Neah-Kah-Nie High School and Neah-Kah-Nie Middle School, both part of the Neah-Kah-Nie School District 56. While the middle school has consistently performed well, the high school faces some challenges in student achievement and attendance.
Neah-Kah-Nie Middle School stands out as a strong performer, ranking in the top 15% of Oregon middle schools in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's students outperform the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels, with 61.8% of 6th graders, 68% of 7th graders, and 65.5% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better. However, the school's mathematics proficiency rates are more mixed, with 6th and 8th graders performing better than the state average, but 7th graders lagging behind.
In contrast, Neah-Kah-Nie High School faces some challenges. The school's ELA and math proficiency rates are below the state average, with only 39.7% of 11th graders scoring proficient or better in ELA and 20.3% in math for the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3%, significantly higher than the state average. Despite the high spending per student at both schools, the district should explore ways to optimize the use of resources and address the underlying causes of the high absenteeism rates to improve student outcomes.
