Summary:

ZIP code 97381 is home to 10 public schools — 8 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school — all within Silver Falls School District 4J, which ranks 28th of 141 Oregon districts (80th percentile, 4 stars). Together they enroll 3,136 students, from 67 at Evergreen Elementary School to 1,262 at Silverton High School. Four schools have fewer than 140 students, so many grade-level results are suppressed by the state for privacy — a suppressed value is unknown, not zero.

Academics vary widely across the ZIP. Evergreen Elementary School posts the top all-grade scores — ELA 88.6%, math 81.8%, science 80.0% — along with the lowest chronic absenteeism (7.5%) and lowest student-teacher ratio (16.8). Victor Point Elementary School (ELA 66.7%, math 58.5%) and Bethany Charter School (ELA 64.4%, math 54.4%) are consistently strong, and Robert Frost Elementary School shines in science (62.0%). Silverton High School graduates 90.1% of students, above the state's 83.0%, with grade-11 scores above state in all subjects.

Math is the weakest subject overall (ZIP average 42.0%, versus 55.6% in ELA). Silverton Middle School, the only middle school, is the clearest weak point: ELA 38.2%, math 26.6%, science 23.5%, with grade 8 especially low. The Community Roots School fell to 1 star and 20th percentile, Mark Twain Elementary declined over three years, and Silver Crest Elementary School remains 2 stars despite the ZIP's highest per-student spending of $17,644. Chronic absenteeism is highest at the larger schools, including 37.9% at the high school, while spending and class size alone do not explain the differences.
