Best Public Schools in Zip Code 97381

Summary:

The 97381 zip code area is home to 10 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Silver Falls School District 4J. The district is ranked 26 out of 140 in Oregon and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out for their exceptional performance. Victor Point Elementary School and Evergreen Elementary School consistently rank among the top elementary schools in the state, with 4- and 5-star ratings, respectively, and strong test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Meanwhile, Silverton High School performs well, ranking in the top 25% of Oregon high schools with a 4-star rating and a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 81.8%.

However, the data also reveals significant variation in academic performance across the schools, with some struggling to meet state averages, particularly in Mathematics. Additionally, the district faces a concerning trend of high chronic absenteeism rates, which likely contribute to the academic challenges faced by certain schools. While there is no clear correlation between per-student spending and test scores, the higher-performing schools tend to have lower student-teacher ratios, which may be a contributing factor to their success.
