Summary:
ZIP code 97348 contains just one high school: Central Linn High School, located at 32433 Hwy 228 in Halsey, Oregon — a single option serving grades 7–12 with 243 students as part of Central Linn School District 552, which ranks 73rd of 141 Oregon districts at the 48th percentile with 2 stars. Because it is the only school here, this is a detailed profile rather than a comparison, and its grade span matters: test results include 7th, 8th, and 11th grades, so "All Grades" figures blend middle and high school performance. Test scores are for 2025–2026; graduation, absenteeism, free/reduced lunch, spending, and student-teacher ratio are for 2024–2025.
Academically, results are uneven by grade and subject. Science is the most consistent strength: All Grades science is 36.2% versus the district's 30.3% and the state's 30.6%, with 11th grade at 39.3% (state 33.8%) and 8th grade at 33.3% (state 27.7%). Eighth grade math is a bright spot at 48.3% against the state's 30.0%. The concerns sit in high school core subjects: 11th grade math is 9.1% versus the state's 22.9%, and 11th grade ELA is 27.3% versus 46.0%. ELA overall is 38.1%, above the district's 36.5% but below the state's 43.8%, with 7th and 8th grade ELA near state averages. Math overall (26.8%) trails both district and state.
Context matters too. The graduation rate is 85.4%, matching the district and above Oregon's 83.0%, a positive counterpoint. However, chronic absenteeism is 45.8% — above the district's 43.6% and the state's 33.5% — and 75.72% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. Per-student spending is $23,020 with a student-teacher ratio of 18.7. The school's rank has also slid from 32 of 268 (88th percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–2024 to 175 of 271 (35th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026; with only 243 students, such swings can be volatile, but the direction is worth watching.
