Schools in Zip Code 97524

ZIP code 97524 covers seven schools serving kindergarten through 12th grade, all within Eagle Point School District 9 — three elementary schools, one middle school, two high schools, and one alternative school, with a combined enrollment of 2,801 students ranging from 47 at Lake Creek Learning Center to 1,000 at Eagle Point High School. The district is ranked 112th of 141 in Oregon, about the 21st percentile with a 1-star rating, but that rating appears on every school record and does not describe individual school results.

Performance varies sharply from school to school. Lake Creek Learning Center posts the highest proficiency in the ZIP (60% ELA, 64% math), though it enrolls only 47 students and several of its scores are suppressed. Eagle Rock Elementary School is the strongest elementary with fuller data: 45.1% ELA and 43.1% math, above state in both, with stable 3-star rankings near the 55th percentile. Eagle Point High School has a 94.6% graduation rate and 52.9% ELA, but math is only 18.1%. Eagle Point Middle School is the reverse — math 33.2%, above state, with ELA below state at 35.9%. Crater Lake Academy graduates 92.0% but tests low. URCEO faces severe challenges: 89.3% chronic absenteeism, a 29.0% graduation rate, and 13.0% ELA. Hillside Elementary has fallen to the 10th percentile with 0 stars.

Science is the clearest shared weakness — no school with a reported all-grade score meets the state’s 30.6%. Poverty is high everywhere, with free/reduced lunch roughly 91.5% to 101.5%, so differences are not simply a matter of wealth. Absenteeism separates schools: Lake Creek (23.3%), Eagle Rock (23.5%), and Crater Lake (25.4%) are lowest. Spending per student runs from $6,917 to $21,403 with no clear link to outcomes.
