Summary:
The 97148 zip code area is home to two schools - Yamhill Carlton Intermediate School, a middle school, and Yamhill Carlton High School. While the high school consistently ranks in the top 25-30% of Oregon high schools and earns a 4-star rating, the intermediate school has struggled, ranking in the bottom 30-40% of Oregon middle schools and only earning 1-2 stars.
Yamhill Carlton High School stands out with its strong academic performance, as evidenced by its 11th grade test scores exceeding the state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. In contrast, the intermediate school's test scores trail the state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. The high school also has a higher graduation rate of 81.8% and spends more per student ($18,883) compared to the intermediate school ($16,214).
However, both schools face challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates around 34% and socioeconomic disparities, as indicated by the higher free/reduced lunch rate of 37.1% at the intermediate school compared to 29.86% at the high school. These factors likely contribute to the performance gap between the two schools and highlight the need for further investigation and targeted support to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Yamhill Carlton School District 1.
