Schools in Zip Code 97734

The 97734 zip code area is home to three schools - Culver Elementary School, Culver High School, and Culver Middle School - all part of the Culver School District 4. While the schools share some common challenges, such as high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism, the data reveals notable differences in their academic performance and overall school quality.

Among the standout schools, Culver Middle School emerges as the strongest performer, ranking 199 out of 368 Oregon middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school excels in English Language Arts, with over 45% of students proficient or better, but struggles with math proficiency, an area that requires focused attention. In contrast, Culver High School lags behind, ranking 238 out of 270 Oregon high schools and receiving a 1-star rating. The high school's low 81.8% four-year graduation rate and poor performance on English Language Arts and Science tests suggest significant room for improvement.

Across the district, the data points to consistent underperformance, with all three schools ranking in the bottom half of their respective categories statewide. This trend, coupled with high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism, indicates that the Culver School District faces significant challenges that require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to improve educational outcomes for the students in the 97734 zip code area.
