Summary:
ZIP code 97394 is served by a single elementary school: Crestview Heights School in Waldport, Oregon, which teaches grades K–6 to 264 students as part of Lincoln County School District. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, there is no local school-to-school comparison to make; the most useful context comes from comparing Crestview Heights to its district and to Oregon as a whole.
Academically, the school's clearest strength is English language arts. Its all-grade ELA proficiency of 51.5% is 17.1 percentage points above the district and 7.7 points above the state, with 3rd, 5th, and 6th grades all above the state average — 6th grade leads at 14.2 points above the state. Science is also a relative bright spot: 5th graders score 32.6%, which is 16.7 points above the district and 1.8 points above the state. Mathematics is the weak spot. All-grade math proficiency is 25.6% — 7.3 points below the state, though still 5.4 points above the district — and every grade level falls short of the state, with 4th grade the lowest at 22.6%, which is 16.3 points below the state and the only math grade below the district.
The school also appears to be improving. It moved from 411 of 706 (42nd percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–2025 to 338 of 709 (52nd percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, now slightly above the state median and far ahead of its district, which ranks in the 20th percentile with 1 star. Chronic absenteeism stands at 34.3% — better than the district's 39.1% but slightly above the state's 33.5%. With 89.39% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, $25,520 in per-student spending, and a 12.9:1 student-teacher ratio, the school serves a high-need population with substantial investment.
