Schools in Zip Code 97544

Zip code 97544 is home to exactly one school: Williams Elementary School, an elementary school serving grades K–5 with 77 students in Williams, Oregon, part of the Three Rivers/Josephine County School District. There are no middle, high, or alternative schools in this zip code, so older students would attend school elsewhere. The district itself is ranked 67th of 141 in Oregon, at the 52nd percentile with a 3-star rating. The data covers rank history from 2023–2024 through 2025–2026, absenteeism, spending, staffing, and lunch data for 2024–2025, and test scores for 2025–2026. Several test-score figures are marked "—" because the state suppressed them to protect student privacy; those should be treated as unknown, not as zero.

Academically, Williams Elementary performs well above both its district and the state. All-grades English Language Arts proficiency is 55.9%, compared with 40.2% in the district and 43.8% statewide, and all-grades math proficiency is also 55.9%, versus 29% in the district and 32.9% statewide. The school has earned 4 stars for three consecutive years: 194th of 709 (73rd percentile) in 2025–2026, 97th of 706 (86th percentile) in 2024–2025, and 112th of 710 (84th percentile) in 2023–2024. Fourth grade is a particular strength, with ELA at 70% and math at 60%. Third-grade ELA is 37.5%, just above the district's 37.3% but below the state's 41.5%, while third-grade math is 50%, above both.

The main warning sign is chronic absenteeism: 44.4% at the school, compared with 37.6% in the district and 33.5% statewide. Fifth-grade ELA, fifth-grade math, fifth-grade science, and all-grades science are suppressed, so science and 5th-grade performance cannot be evaluated. The reported free/reduced lunch figure of 124.68% is not usable as a poverty measure. Per-student spending is $20,098 and the student-teacher ratio is 25.6, though small schools often show unusual figures. With only 77 students, year-to-year changes can be volatile.
