Summary:
Zip code 97623 in rural Klamath County contains exactly one elementary school: Bonanza Elementary School, a K–6 school with 206 students in Bonanza, Oregon. It is part of the Klamath County School District, which ranks 78th of 141 districts in Oregon (45th percentile, 2 stars). Because Bonanza is the only elementary option in the ZIP code, there are no local peers to compare it against; the useful benchmarks are the district and state averages.
Academically, Bonanza's profile is mixed rather than uniformly strong or weak. Math is the clearest bright spot: all-grade math proficiency is 36.3%, which is 8.0 points above the district (28.3%) and 3.4 points above the state (32.9%). Fifth-grade math is the standout result in the entire dataset at 40%, beating the district by 16.4 points and the state by 7.6 points. English language arts is more uneven. Overall ELA sits at 37.1%, below the district (41.1%) and state (43.8%), but that average hides real differences by grade: 4th-grade ELA (45.2%) and 5th-grade ELA (48.0%) are above both district and state, while 3rd-grade ELA (27.6%) and 6th-grade ELA (30.8%) fall well below both. Science is below the state at 24.0%, though 5th-grade science (24.0%) edges past the district's 22.7% while remaining under the state's 30.8%.
Two context factors matter for parents. First, attendance is a genuine strength: chronic absenteeism is 26.9%, better than the district's 31.0% and the state's 33.5%. Second, the school serves a high-need population, with 92.72% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, alongside $20,901 in per-student spending and a 13.7 student-teacher ratio—figures offered as context, since no district or state comparisons are available for them. In short, math and attendance are relative strengths, while ELA overall and science relative to the state are the areas to watch.
