Summary:
ZIP code 97624 covers Chiloquin, a small community in Klamath County, Oregon, and it contains exactly one elementary school: Chiloquin Elementary School. The school serves grades K–6 and enrolls 227 students, and it is part of the Klamath County School District. Because there is only one school in this ZIP, there is no neighboring campus to compare it with — the useful benchmarks are the school's own district and the state of Oregon.
On 2025–2026 state tests, all-grade proficiency was 24.0% in English language arts, 23.3% in math, and 25.9% in science. Each of those trails both the district (41.1%, 28.3%, 28.5%) and the state (43.8%, 32.9%, 30.6%). The reading gap is the widest, nearly 20 points below the state, while science is closest. Results vary a lot by grade: 5th grade is the weakest point, at 14.8% in both ELA and math and 25.9% in science. 6th grade math (33.3%) is the one bright spot, beating both the district (25.9%) and the state (29.7%). Statewide, the school has moved from the 9th to the 11th to the 19th percentile over three years — real improvement, but still the bottom fifth of Oregon elementary schools at 1 star, below its district's 45th percentile.
Two things stand out for families. First, chronic absenteeism is 37.8%, higher than both the district (31.0%) and the state (33.5%) — in a school of 227, that means roughly 86 students missing enough school to be flagged. Attendance is the clearest lever available. Second, resources are not obviously scarce: 91.63% of students qualify for free/reduced-price lunch, per-student spending is $24,680, and the student–teacher ratio is 14.4:1. The school also has notable strengths to build on in 6th grade and a three-year upward ranking trend. The bottom line: a small, high-poverty rural school with strong per-pupil funding that is still working to lift reading, 5th-grade, and attendance outcomes.
