Summary:
The 97734 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Culver Elementary School, which serves students in the Culver School District 4. While the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate and a student population that is predominantly from low-income households, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the state average across grade levels and subject areas.
Culver Elementary School has 288 students and is part of the Culver School District 4, which is ranked 98 out of 140 school districts in Oregon and has a 2-star rating. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 340 out of 706 Oregon elementary schools in 2022-2023 (3-star rating) to 399 out of 710 in 2023-2024 (2-star rating). With a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% for the 2023-2024 school year, the school may face challenges in ensuring consistent student attendance and engagement.
Despite the district's investment of $17,486 per student for the 2022-2023 school year, the academic performance data suggests that these resources may not be translating into improved student outcomes. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 35.5%, compared to the state average of 40.3%. The high percentage of students (68.75%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school is serving a relatively low-income student population, which may require additional resources and support to address their unique educational needs.
