Summary:
ZIP code 97536 has exactly one listed public school — Prospect Charter School, an alternative charter school serving grades K–12 within Prospect School District 59, with 215 students — so this single campus is effectively the entire local public-school picture. The area lists no separate elementary, middle, or high schools, only this one alternative school.
The strongest signals are the graduation rate and a handful of grade-level results. The school graduates 85.7% of students, above Oregon's 83.0%, and several grade levels beat the state: 3rd-grade math at 54.5% proficient (state 41.3%), 3rd-grade ELA at 45.5% (state 41.5%), 11th-grade ELA at 46.7% (state 46.0%), and 11th-grade science at 40.0% (state 33.8%). Class sizes are also comparatively small at 11.4 students per teacher, with per-student spending of $29,334.
The clearest concern is chronic absenteeism: 49.2% of students are chronically absent, well above Oregon's 33.5% and slightly above the district's 46.3%. Overall proficiency trails the state in every tested subject — ELA 22.4% vs. 43.8%, math 9.6% vs. 32.9%, and science 25.5% vs. 30.6%. Grades 4 through 8 generally fall well below state, with 4th-grade and 7th-grade math both reported as under 5% proficient. About 74.88% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. With only 215 students across K–12, grade-level percentages rest on small groups, so a few students can move a rate by several points, and parents should read these figures as directional rather than precise.
