Summary:
There is only one elementary school located in the 97469 zip code - Riddle Elementary School, which is part of the Riddle School District 70. The school serves a disadvantaged student population, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and a chronic absenteeism rate that is significantly above the state average.
Academically, Riddle Elementary School is underperforming compared to state standards. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 442 out of 706 Oregon elementary schools in 2022-2023 (2-star rating) to 581 out of 706 in 2024-2025 (1-star rating). Student academic performance is generally below the state average across various grade levels and subjects, with only 14.3% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 40.3%.
Despite the school's challenges, it is allocating resources, with a relatively high spending per student of $20,608 for the 2022-2023 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 14.8 for the 2023-2024 school year. However, the academic outcomes do not seem to be reflecting this investment, suggesting that the school may be facing significant obstacles in providing a high-quality education to its students.
