Summary:
The 97502 zip code area is home to 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools. This diverse set of schools serves students across a range of socioeconomic backgrounds, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 38.91% to 74.68%.
The standout school in the area is Crater School of Business Innovation and Science, a high school that ranks 15th out of 258 Oregon high schools and has a 5-star rating. It boasts the highest test scores in the district, with 66.3% of 11th graders proficient in English Language Arts and 64.1% proficient in Science. In contrast, Crater Academy of Health and Public Services struggles, with only 50.5% of 11th graders proficient in English Language Arts. The Madrone Trail Public Charter School also stands out for its high English Language Arts proficiency rates, outperforming the district and state averages.
The data reveals significant disparities in student outcomes across the schools in the 97502 zip code area. While Sams Valley Elementary School boasts the highest math proficiency rates, with 42.9% of 3rd graders and 26.8% of 5th graders meeting standards, other elementary and middle schools struggle, with less than 25% of students proficient in 5th grade math. These equity concerns, coupled with the wide range of free/reduced lunch rates, suggest the need for the Central Point School District 6 and Medford School District 549C to address the root causes of these disparities and support the lower-performing schools in the area.
