Summary:
ZIP code 97453 has one high school, Mapleton Junior/Senior High School, a small rural school in Mapleton, Oregon, serving grades 6–12 as part of Mapleton School District 32 with 76 students. It is a combined junior/senior high, so families should read its data as one small school rather than separate middle and high school results. Enrollment is tiny, meaning a few students can shift percentages sharply, and many grade-level results are suppressed by the state for privacy.
Mapleton’s clearest strengths are graduation and upper-level science. The graduation rate is 91.7%, equal to the district and above Oregon’s 83.0%. Eleventh-grade science proficiency is 63.6%, nearly double the state’s 33.8%, and all-grade science is 34.8%, above the district’s 27.0% and state’s 30.6%. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 9.5 and very high per-student spending of $42,392, which may reflect fixed costs in a small school. The reported free/reduced lunch figure is 101.32%, above 100%, so it is best treated as a reporting or eligibility artifact that still signals widespread economic need.
Academic challenges are focused in math and English language arts. All-grade math proficiency is under 5%, compared with the district’s 17.1% and the state’s 32.9%, while all-grade ELA is 18.8%, below the district’s 32.0% and state’s 43.8%. Eighth-grade science is 8.3%, far below the state’s 27.7%, though 11th-grade science is strong. Chronic absenteeism is 34.3%, slightly above the state’s 33.5% but below the district’s 40.8%. The current district rank is 91st of 141 in Oregon, 35th percentile with 2 stars; historical school ranks were also low. Because the school is so small and many results are suppressed, use these figures as broad signals, not precise year-to-year judgments.
