Summary:
The 97380 zip code is home to a single public charter school, Siletz Valley Schools, which serves grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 235 students. As part of the Lincoln County School District, which is ranked 119 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, Siletz Valley Schools faces significant challenges in student performance and academic outcomes.
Siletz Valley Schools has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% and a four-year graduation rate of 81.8% for the 2023-2024 school year. The school consistently underperforms the district and state in standardized test scores, with only 17.6% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 49% for the district and 44.4% for the state. Additionally, a high percentage (78.72%) of Siletz Valley Schools' students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the community.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $11,350 for the 2022-2023 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 13.8, the academic outcomes do not appear to be commensurate with the level of investment. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its strategies and approaches to better support the needs of its students and the local community.
