Summary:
The 97317 zip code area in Oregon is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 high school, all part of the Salem-Keizer School District 24J. While the district as a whole is ranked 110 out of 140 districts in Oregon and rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, Miller Elementary School stands out as a relative bright spot, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages.
The other elementary schools, Eyre Elementary and Four Corners Elementary, have very low proficiency rates across the board. Additionally, Roberts High School had an 81.8% four-year graduation rate, which is below the state average. All schools in the data set had very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.3% to 34.3%, which is likely a contributing factor to the low academic performance.
The schools in the 97317 zip code area serve predominantly economically disadvantaged student populations, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 66.4% to 68.6%. This, combined with the high chronic absenteeism rates and low proficiency scores, suggests that the schools in this area face significant challenges. Addressing these issues, such as improving attendance and resource allocation, could be important steps in improving educational outcomes for students in this community.
