Schools in Zip Code 97754

ZIP code 97754 in Prineville, Oregon is served by nine schools enrolling 4,342 students across four elementary schools, one middle school, three high schools, and one alternative school, split between the Crook County School District (ranked 14th of 141 districts, 90th percentile, 5 stars) and Mitchell School District 55 (ranked 18th of 141, 87th percentile, 4 stars).

Among traditional schools, elementary results are the brightest spot. Steins Pillar Elementary posts the ZIP's highest all-grade English language arts score at 62.6% and the lowest chronic absenteeism at 20.0%, while Crooked River Elementary shines in math at 52.8% and Barnes Butte Elementary in ELA at 53.7% — all above the state's 43.8% ELA and 32.9% math marks, and all three keep absenteeism below the district's 30.1%. Crook County Middle School also beats the state in both subjects (47.8% ELA, 35.5% math). Science is a shared soft spot, with Barnes Butte (26.9%), Steins Pillar (26.5%), and the middle school (27.9%) all under the state's 30.6%. Destinations Career Academy of Oregon holds the ZIP's strongest scores overall (60% ELA, 67.9% math, 64.3% science), and the much larger Cascade Virtual Academy — 1,226 students, about 28% of the area's enrollment — beats the state in math and science and posts strong 11th grade results.

High school completion and attendance tell different stories. Crook County High School graduates 98.4% of students and Pioneer Secondary Alternative High School graduates 97.3%, both far above the state's 83.0%, yet Pioneer's chronic absenteeism is 81.5% and Crook County High's is 35.4%. The two virtual schools also face engagement challenges: Destinations is at 73.0% chronic absenteeism with a 58.3% graduation rate, and Cascade Virtual is at 49.7% with 62.2%. Grizzly Mountain HomeLink reports the lowest proficiency in the ZIP (25% ELA, 13% math, science under 5%). School-level test scores for Crook County High and Pioneer are suppressed by the state, so their academics can't be compared directly.
