Summary:

The 97352 zip code has only one elementary school, Jefferson Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 298 students. The school is part of the Jefferson School District 14J, which is ranked 132 out of 140 school districts in Oregon and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jefferson Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, going from 581 out of 710 Oregon elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 670 out of 706 in 2024-2025, with a 0-star rating. The school's academic performance is significantly below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas tested, with only 7% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 40.3%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% and a high percentage of students (65.44%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the high per-student spending of $17,525, which is higher than the state average, and a student-teacher ratio of 19.2, which is slightly higher than the recommended ratio, the school's overall performance and educational environment suggest significant challenges that the school and district are facing. A more comprehensive analysis of the underlying factors contributing to the school's struggles would be necessary to develop targeted interventions and strategies for improvement.
