Summary:
ZIP code 97462 is home to three public schools serving 645 students in grades K–12, all part of Oakland School District 1 in rural Oregon: Oakland Elementary School (K–4, 252 students), Oakland Middle School (5–8, 191 students), and Oakland High School (9–12, 202 students). The district ranks 37th of 141 in Oregon — the 74th percentile with a 4-star rating.
Each school has a different profile. Oakland Middle School has the strongest current rank, 63rd percentile with 3 stars, and its English language arts results are a clear strength: 55.2% proficiency versus the state's 43.8%, with every tested grade above the state. Its math, however, is 22.9% against a state figure of 32.9%. Oakland High School posts the best outcome in the area, a 91.2% graduation rate compared with the state's 83.0%, plus strong 11th-grade ELA at 56.3% versus 46.0%; its 11th-grade math is 20.8% versus 22.9%. Oakland Elementary School is the most improved, rising from the 31st to the 43rd to the 51st percentile over three years, with math at 40.4% (above the state's 32.9%) but ELA at 40.4% (below the state's 43.8%).
Attendance is a shared bright spot: chronic absenteeism is 20.5% at the elementary school, 21.4% at the middle school, and 22.9% at the high school, all well below Oregon's 33.5%. Economic disadvantage is common across all levels, with free or reduced lunch near 78% to 79% at each school. Spending rises with grade level ($19,253, $21,149, and $25,773), and the high school has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 13.4:1, yet math proficiency stays low there. Because these schools are small, year-to-year rank changes can be noisy.
