Summary:
The 97374 zip code area is home to 5 schools serving grades K-12, all part of the Scio School District 95. While the district is ranked 45 out of 140 in Oregon, the schools show a mix of strengths and areas for improvement.
The standout performer is Willamette Connections Academy, an alternative public charter virtual school with an impressive 81.8% four-year graduation rate, higher than the district and state averages. This school also boasts stronger proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state, particularly in 3rd and 11th grades. In contrast, Centennial Elementary School has a 5th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate of 56%, significantly higher than the district and state.
However, the district as a whole faces challenges, with all schools reporting high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 34.3% to 34.3%. Additionally, there is a wide range in per-student spending, from $1,646 at Willamette Connections Academy to $18,727 at Scio Middle School, raising questions about the relationship between funding and student outcomes in this area.
