Best Public Schools in Zip Code 97732

ZIP code 97732 covers Crane, Oregon, and includes four schools — one elementary, one high school, and two alternative K–12 schools — with no standalone middle school, since middle grades are served within the elementary K–8 and the alternative schools. Total reported enrollment is 2,420 students across two districts: Harney County Union High School District 1J and Harney County School District 4. The two alternative schools account for about 88% of that enrollment.

The traditional Crane schools are the academic standouts. Crane Union High School ranks 2nd of 271 Oregon high schools (99th percentile, 5 stars), with 90.5% ELA proficiency, 65.0% math, and science of at least 95% — far above the state averages of 43.8%, 32.9%, and 30.6%. Its graduation rate is 92.6% (state: 83.0%) and its chronic absenteeism rate is 31.5% (state: 33.5%). It is very small, at 96 students. Crane Elementary School ranks 95th of 709 (87th percentile, 4 stars), with ELA at 68.7%, math at 59.9%, science at 61.1%, and absenteeism at 28.8%; about 67% of its 186 students qualify for free/reduced lunch.

The alternative schools differ sharply. Silvies River Charter School, the largest at 1,219 students, has ELA essentially at the state average (43.9%), math below it (23.5%), a strong 92.5% graduation rate, but chronic absenteeism of 57.2%, far above the state. Oregon Family School (919 students) has the lowest absenteeism in the ZIP at 20.7% and an 88.0% graduation rate, but its available all-grade results — ELA 33.3% and math 18.2% — are below state levels, and some test values, including science, are suppressed by the state and should be treated as unknown rather than as zero. District-wide, Harney County School District 4 ranks 3rd of 141 districts with 5 stars, while Harney County Union High School District 1J ranks 30th of 141 with 4 stars.
