Summary:
ZIP code 97435 covers Drain, Oregon, and contains a single listed elementary school: North Douglas Elementary School, which serves grades K–8 with 254 students as part of North Douglas School District 22. Because there is only one school in this area, there are no local peer elementary schools to compare it against, so the most useful comparisons are the school versus its district and versus the state of Oregon.
The school's clearest academic strength is Science: 35.4% of all students were proficient, above the state's 30.6%, and 8th grade Science reached 42.9% versus 27.7% statewide. Eighth grade English Language Arts is also a standout at 71.4% proficient against 41.5% statewide. Math, by contrast, is a consistent weakness — every reported grade level trails the state. All-grade Math proficiency is 23.9% versus 32.9% statewide, a gap of 9.0 percentage points, and 8th grade Math is especially low at 9.5% compared with 30.0% statewide. Reading results are uneven rather than uniformly weak: all-grade ELA is 41.5% versus 43.8% statewide, but 4th grade ELA is 22.4 points below the state and 3rd grade ELA is 12.3 points below, while 8th grade is far above.
The school's statewide rank has slipped over three reported years, moving from the 50th percentile (358 of 710) in 2023–2024 to the 43rd percentile (404 of 706) in 2024–2025 and the 34th percentile (469 of 709) in 2025–2026, while holding a 2-star rating each year. Chronic absenteeism is 36.5%, above the state's 33.5% but below the district's 40.5%, meaning more than one in three students were chronically absent. The free/reduced-lunch rate is 82.68%, indicating substantial socioeconomic need, and per-student spending is $21,003 with a student-teacher ratio of 15.1.
