Schools in Zip Code 97463

ZIP code 97463 covers Oakridge, Oregon, and contains 3 public schools serving grades K–12 — one elementary, one junior high, and one high school — all within Oakridge School District 76, with a combined enrollment of 515 students. The elementary school holds about 54% of that enrollment, the high school about 30%, and the junior high about 16%. The district as a whole ranks 57th of 141 Oregon districts, at the 60th percentile with 3 stars.

Oakridge High School is the standout: it ranks 56th of 271 Oregon high schools (79th percentile, 4 stars), up sharply from the 10th percentile in 2023–2024. Its all-grade ELA proficiency is 68.2% and science 50%, both well above the state, though all-grade math is 25%, and its graduation rate of 67.7% sits below the state's 83.0%. Oakridge Elementary School is the lowest-ranked, at 541st of 709 (24th percentile, 1 star), with below-state results in ELA (28.6%), math (22.7%), and science (23.5%), plus a free/reduced-lunch rate of 96.07% indicating very high economic need. Oakridge Junior High School is improving, rising to the 44th percentile with 2 stars, and its 8th-grade ELA and science beat state averages.

Two concerns run across all three schools. First, math is the clearest systemic weakness: every school's all-grade math proficiency falls below the state's 32.9%. Second, chronic absenteeism exceeds the state's 33.5% at every school — highest at the junior high (41.9%), then the elementary (38.8%), then the high school (34.6%), which also has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 12.3. There are bright spots to build on: 4th-grade math at the elementary, 5th-grade ELA, 8th-grade ELA and science at the junior high, and 11th-grade ELA and science at the high school.
