Summary:
ZIP code 97137 is served by a single elementary school, St Paul Elementary School, which enrolls about 150 students in grades PK–6 as part of St Paul School District 45 in the small community of St Paul, Oregon.
Because there is only one elementary school here, there is no local peer comparison — the useful benchmarks are the district and the state. That comparison is favorable. Overall proficiency is above Oregon levels in all three tested subjects: ELA at 52.9% versus 43.8% statewide, math at 47.9% versus 32.9%, and science at 35.3% versus 30.6%. Math is the clearest strength, coming in 15.0 percentage points above the state and 4.2 points above the district (district ELA, at 54.2%, is slightly higher than the school's). Chronic absenteeism is notably low at 10.7%, compared with 20.6% in the district and 33.5% statewide — roughly one-third of the state rate. The school also earned 4 stars in each of the last three years, staying in the top quartile of Oregon schools with percentile ranks of 73, 80, and 74, and the district ranks 32 out of 141 districts, at the 77th percentile with 4 stars.
Grade-level results are uneven. Fifth grade is the standout cohort — ELA 75%, math 64.7%, and science 35.3%, all above state averages. Sixth grade is also above state in ELA (61.5%) and math (46.2%). The watch areas are early-grade ELA and 4th-grade math: 3rd-grade ELA is 30% versus 41.5% statewide, 4th-grade ELA is 33.3% versus 43.5%, and 4th-grade math is 33.3% versus 38.9%. Note that with 150 students, a single grade's results can swing on a few students, so grade-level figures are best read as signals rather than firm verdicts. Spending is $23,677 per student and the student-teacher ratio is 17.6; without state or district comparators here, these cannot be judged as high or low. The reported free/reduced lunch figure of 116.67% is not a usable percentage and should be treated as a reporting anomaly.
