Schools in Zip Code 97446

ZIP code 97446 covers Harrisburg, Oregon, where three public schools serve roughly 861 students from kindergarten through 12th grade, all within Harrisburg School District 7J: Harrisburg Elementary School (K–4, 338 students), Harrisburg Middle School (5–8, 263 students), and Harrisburg High School (9–12, 260 students). There are no alternative schools in this ZIP. The district ranks 124th out of 141 Oregon districts — about the 12th percentile, with 1 star.

Harrisburg Elementary is the relative academic standout: ELA proficiency is 41.9% against the state's 43.8%, math is 32.3% against 32.9%, and chronic absenteeism is 31.2%, below the state's 33.5%. Its weakness is 4th-grade math at 27.9% versus 38.9% statewide, and its rank slipped from the low 60s percentile with 3 stars to 43rd percentile with 2 stars. Harrisburg Middle School sits lower — 288th of 371, 22nd percentile, 1 star — though science (22.0%) beats the district's 18.6%, while 6th-grade ELA (15.4%) and 8th-grade math (10.2%) lag far behind. Harrisburg High School is the sharpest concern: 264th of 271, 3rd percentile, 0 stars, with ELA at 17.0%, math at 6.5%, science at 9.8%, chronic absenteeism at 46.3%, and a 74.1% graduation rate versus the state's 83.0%.

Two patterns stand out. First, results worsen as grade level rises: ELA falls from 41.9% to 29.5% to 17.0%, and math from 32.3% to 19.6% to 6.5%, while absenteeism climbs from 31.2% to 33.1% to 46.3%. Second, poverty is essentially uniform — free/reduced lunch is about 73–74% at all three schools — so the differences between schools are not explained by differing poverty rates. Resources also don't track with outcomes: the high school spends the most per student ($18,704) and has the smallest classes (13.0 students per teacher) yet the weakest results, while the middle school spends the least ($14,196) and still outperforms the high school.
