Summary:
ZIP code 97535 is home to four schools serving roughly 1,108 students — two elementary schools (Phoenix Elementary School for grades K–5 and Phoenix-Talent Rising Academy for grades K–8) and two high schools (Phoenix High School and Armadillo Community Charter School, both grades 9–12) — all tied to Phoenix-Talent School District 4, which ranks 101 of 141 districts in Oregon, in the 28th percentile with 1 star. Note that a "—" in the data means the state suppressed the value for privacy; it is unknown, not zero.
The two high schools look very different. Phoenix High School, the largest school at 687 students, graduates 93.1% of students (above the district's 87.8% and the state's 83.0%) and its All Grades ELA proficiency is 45.1%. But its math is 16.6%, science is 25.2%, and chronic absenteeism is 50.4%. Armadillo Community Charter School graduates 56.7%, has the ZIP code's lowest math proficiency at 5.9%, the highest chronic absenteeism at 64.1%, the lowest spending per student at $6,954, 0 stars, and an 8th percentile rank. That is a 36.4 percentage-point graduation gap.
Phoenix-Talent Rising Academy posts the highest reported ELA (45.8%) and math (58.3%) in the area, but with only 24 students and many suppressed grade-level scores, those results are promising yet statistically fragile. Phoenix Elementary School has the area's lowest reported chronic absenteeism at 25.1%, though its proficiency trails district and state levels. Math is the weakest subject overall, rank trends are mostly weak, and three schools spend roughly $21,000–$22,400 per student while Armadillo spends about one-third of that, despite having the smallest classes.
