Summary:
ZIP code 97443 contains exactly one public elementary school: Glide Elementary School, a K–6 campus in Glide, Oregon, with 398 students in the Glide School District 12.
Because it is the only elementary school in this ZIP code, there is nothing locally to compare it with, so the useful comparisons are against the district and the state. In 2025–2026 OSAS testing, 30.1% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) versus 43.8% statewide, 23.0% in mathematics versus 32.9% statewide, and 16.1% in science versus 30.6% statewide. Math is the relative bright spot: the school's 23.0% is above the district's 19.4%, even though it trails the state. Grade-level results show the same pattern, with the strongest math showing in 4th grade at 31.4% (state 38.9%) and 3rd grade at 30.9% (state 41.3%). Fifth grade is the clear weak point across every subject—ELA 24.2% versus 47.1% statewide, math 14.5% versus 32.4%, and science 16.1% versus 30.8%. ELA is strongest in 6th grade at 33.8%, still below the state's 41.8%.
Beyond test scores, 33.0% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, slightly better than the district's 33.6% and the state's 33.5%, but still about one in three students. The school serves a high-poverty population, with 84.92% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, per-student spending of $17,574, and a student-teacher ratio of 15.8. Its state ranking has slipped over three years: 444 of 710 (37th percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–2024, 473 of 706 (33rd percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–2025, and 564 of 709 (20th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–2026. The district itself ranks 117th of 141 districts, at the 17th percentile with 1 star, so these challenges are district-wide rather than unique to this one school.
