Summary:
ZIP code 97478 in Springfield, Oregon contains exactly one high school in this data set: Thurston High School, a grades 9–12 campus at 333 58th St with 1,215 students. It belongs to Springfield School District 19, which ranks 92nd of 141 Oregon districts (35th percentile, 2 stars). Since there are no other high schools in this ZIP code to compare against, the meaningful benchmarks are the district and the state.
Thurston's clearest strength is completion: 90.4% of students graduate, well above the district's 76.9% and the state's 83.0%. Science is the only tested subject where the school is at or above Oregon's level — 31.1% proficient versus the district's 25.8% and the state's 30.6%. One important detail for reading the numbers: Thurston's "All Grades" and 11th-grade scores are identical in every subject, which means the reported figures are essentially 11th-grade results rather than a blended school-wide average.
The academic picture elsewhere is difficult. English language arts proficiency is 22.4% and mathematics is 11.4% — roughly one in nine students meeting the math standard — both about 21 points below the state. Chronic absenteeism sits at 41.1%, above the district (39.8%) and state (33.5%). The school's state ranking has slipped for three straight years, from 176th of 268 in 2023-2024 to 206th of 271 in 2025-2026, with its star rating falling from 2 to 1. Per-student spending is $21,412 and the student-teacher ratio is 20.8:1 (about 58 teachers). In short: strong graduation outcomes alongside weak proficiency, rising absenteeism, and a steady rankings decline, with science the bright spot.
