Summary:

The 97396 zip code area has only one elementary school, Willamina Elementary School, which serves students in grades K-5. Based on the available data, Willamina Elementary is not a standout performer, ranking 608 out of 706 Oregon elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Willamina Elementary struggles academically, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science significantly below the state averages. The school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3%, which likely contributes to the low academic performance. Additionally, the school serves a high-poverty student population, with 78.44% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite spending $18,498 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's academic outcomes remain poor.

Overall, the data suggests that Willamina School District 30J and Willamina Elementary School face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism, low academic achievement, and socioeconomic factors may be crucial in improving the school's performance and outcomes for its students.
