Summary:

ZIP code 97381 covers Silverton, Oregon, and contains eight elementary schools, all within Silver Falls School District 4J, which ranks 28th of 141 Oregon districts and holds a 4-star rating. The schools serve different grade spans — K–5, K–6, and K–8 — and together enroll about 1,449 students, ranging from 67 at Evergreen Elementary School to 349 at Robert Frost Elementary School.

Academic results vary widely within this single district. Evergreen Elementary School leads every tested subject (88.6% ELA, 81.8% math, 80% science) and has the lowest absenteeism at 7.5%, but with only 67 students most grade-level scores are suppressed for privacy, so its all-grade results should be read with caution. Victor Point Elementary School and Bethany Charter School are the most consistent 4-star performers, both above district averages in ELA and math. Robert Frost Elementary School is solid overall and strong in science (62%). Two schools show clear declines: Mark Twain Elementary fell from 4 stars to 2 stars over three years with the highest absenteeism (35.9%), and The Community Roots School dropped to 1 star with the lowest math proficiency (20.6%). Central Howell Elementary School improved to 3 stars, while Silver Crest Elementary School remains at 2 stars.

Two patterns stand out for families. First, every school’s all-grade math proficiency is lower than its ELA proficiency, so math is a shared area of focus districtwide. Second, spending does not predict results here: Victor Point has the lowest per-student spending ($14,986) with strong outcomes, while Silver Crest spends the most ($17,644). Chronic absenteeism ranges from 7.5% to 35.9%, and the six schools reporting free/reduced lunch are clustered near 51%.
