Schools in Zip Code 97436

Zip code 97436 covers Elkton, Oregon, and contains just one public school: Elkton Charter School, an alternative-classified school that serves grades K–12 with 235 students. It is the sole school in Elkton School District 34, so district figures mirror school figures exactly and there are no local school-to-school comparisons to make. Parents should judge this school mainly against Oregon state averages and against its own performance across grade levels and subjects.

English Language Arts is the clearest strength. All Grades ELA proficiency is 56.4%, compared with 43.8% statewide, and six of seven reported grade levels beat the state.

Eleventh grade Science is also strong at 53.3% against 33.8% statewide, and elementary and middle school math generally runs ahead of state in grades 3 through 6, including 47.1% in 5th grade math and 45.5% in 6th grade math. Overall math proficiency is 34.0% versus 32.9% statewide, and overall science is 34.8% versus 30.6%.

The main concerns are attendance and secondary-level math and science. Chronic absenteeism is 41.7%, well above the state's 33.5%, even though the graduation rate is 84.2% versus 83.0% statewide. Eleventh grade math is 13.3% against 22.9% statewide, and 7th grade math is 15.4% against 33.3%. Eighth grade Science is 14.3% versus 27.7% statewide, and 7th grade ELA, at 38.5%, is the only ELA grade below state. With 88.51% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, spending of $27,397 per student, and a student-teacher ratio of 13.9, context matters — and with only 235 students spread across K–12, grade-level percentages come from small groups and can swing from year to year.
