Summary:
ZIP code 97539 is served by exactly one public school: Shady Cove School, an elementary school serving grades K–6 with 183 students in Shady Cove, Oregon, part of Eagle Point School District 9. There are no middle schools, high schools, or alternative schools listed in this ZIP code, so families here transition to other schools after 6th grade. Because the school is the only one in the area, all comparisons below are against its district and the state rather than against a neighboring school.
Academically, the school is strongest in math and science. All-grade math proficiency is 46.8%, well above the district's 24.1% and the state's 32.9%, and science proficiency is 55.6% compared with 22.0% in the district and 30.6% statewide. All-grade English language arts sits at 43.2%, essentially level with the state's 43.8% and above the district's 32.8%. The school outperforms its district in every reported test category, and grades 4, 5, and 6 are all above state averages in ELA. The clearest academic pressure point is early literacy and 3rd-grade math: 3rd-grade ELA is 25.8% against a state figure of 41.5%, and 3rd-grade math is 32.3% versus 41.3% statewide. Fifth-grade science, at 55.6%, stands out against the state's 30.8%.
The school is also on a clear upward trajectory, moving from 454th of 710 schools (36th percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–2024 to 241st of 709 (66th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026. That is notable given its district ranks 112th of 141 in Oregon — 21st percentile with 1 star. Chronic absenteeism is 25.6%, better than the district and state (both about 33%), though still roughly 1 in 4 students. Nearly all students qualify for free/reduced lunch (95.08%), per-student spending is $21,532, and the student-teacher ratio is 16.2. With only 183 students and science reported for one grade, single-grade results should be read as directional.
