Summary:
The 97360 zip code area is home to 3 schools in the Santiam Canyon School District 129J, including 1 elementary school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative public charter virtual school. The district is ranked 71 out of 140 in Oregon and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The standout school in the area appears to be the Oregon Charter Academy, which outperforms the district and state averages on most academic measures. The school has higher test scores, a higher 4-year graduation rate of 81.8%, and a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% compared to the district averages. In contrast, the Santiam Junior/Senior High School significantly underperforms, with much lower test scores across the board.
Overall, the data suggests that the alternative school model at the Oregon Charter Academy may be more effective for this community, while the Santiam Junior/Senior High School and Santiam Elementary School face significant challenges in providing quality education to their students. The high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools is a concerning trend that the district should investigate and address.
