Summary:
The 97761 zip code is home to a single school, Warm Springs K-8 Academy, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The school is part of the Jefferson County School District 509J, which is ranked 129 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 0-star rating.
Warm Springs K-8 Academy faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance across all grade levels in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, falling well below the district and state averages. The school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3%, which may be contributing to the low test scores. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 94.27%, indicating a high level of poverty among the student population.
Despite the high spending per student of $24,865, the school's academic performance remains low, raising questions about the effective use of resources and the need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 12.6 to 1 could be an asset if leveraged effectively to provide more personalized support and targeted interventions for students. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and implementing evidence-based strategies to improve academic achievement may be areas of focus for the school and district to support the success of Warm Springs K-8 Academy.
