Summary:
The 97503 zip code area in Oregon is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Table Rock Elementary and Kids Unlimited Academy White City) and 1 middle school (White Mountain Middle School). These schools serve a high-needs population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 74% to 112%, and face significant challenges in student performance and engagement.
Across all three schools, test scores are alarmingly low, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics well below state and district averages. For example, at Table Rock Elementary, only 25.4% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 40.3% statewide. The middle school, White Mountain, struggles even more, with only 14% of 6th graders proficient in ELA and less than 10% proficient in Math. Additionally, all three schools have extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.3% to 34.3%, which is a major contributor to the low academic performance.
The schools in the 97503 zip code area face systemic challenges that require significant intervention and support. Disparities in per-student spending, from $6,401 to $19,188, may indicate unequal access to resources and funding across the schools. Addressing the high-needs populations, improving student engagement and attendance, and ensuring equitable distribution of resources will be crucial to improving outcomes for students in this community, which is served by the Eagle Point School District 9.
