Summary:
ZIP code 97426 has just one listed high school — Creswell High School, located at 33390 E Nieblock Ln in Creswell, Oregon, serving grades 9–12 with 342 students as part of Creswell School District 40. Because it is the only high school in the area, the most useful comparisons are against the district and Oregon state averages rather than against other nearby high schools.
The school's relative strengths are in reading, graduation, and attendance. All-grade English language arts proficiency is 48%, above both the district (43.1%) and the state (43.8%), and 11th-grade ELA is also 48%, above Oregon's 46%. The graduation rate of 85.0% matches the district and beats the state's 83.0%, while chronic absenteeism of 29.7% is lower than Oregon's 33.5% and essentially level with the district's 29.8% — a positive, since lower absenteeism is better. All-grade science sits at 31%, slightly above the state's 30.6% but below the district's 34.3%; at 11th grade, science (31%) falls below the state's 33.8%.
Mathematics is the clearest weakness: all-grade proficiency is 13.7%, far below the district's 28.3% and the state's 32.9%, and 11th-grade math (13.7%) trails Oregon's 22.9%. For 2025–2026 the school ranks 152 of 271 Oregon high schools (44th percentile, 2 stars), while the district ranks 54 of 141 (62nd percentile, 3 stars). Ranking has been volatile, moving from the 48th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 68th in 2024–2025 and back to the 44th now. Economic need is notable, with 69.59% of students receiving free or reduced lunch; per-student spending is $26,221 and the student-teacher ratio is 16.8, roughly 20 teachers.
