Summary:

The 97386 zip code area of Sweet Home, Oregon is home to 4 elementary schools serving grades K-5: Oak Heights Elementary School, Hawthorne Elementary School, Holley Elementary School, and Sweet Home Charter School.

Based on the data, the standout school in this area is Sweet Home Charter School, which consistently outperforms the other elementary schools, as well as the Sweet Home School District 55 and state averages, on standardized test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The charter school also has a higher statewide ranking, with a 4-star rating, compared to 1-2 star ratings for the other schools.

However, the data also reveals some concerning trends across all 4 schools, including high chronic absenteeism rates, nearly double the state average, and a wide range in spending per student, from $6,097 at the charter school to over $17,000 at Hawthorne Elementary School. These findings suggest a need for systemic improvements to support student learning and achievement across the Sweet Home School District.
