Summary:
Zip code 97761 has just one listed school, Warm Springs K-8 Academy, located at 50 Chukar Road in Warm Springs. It is an elementary school serving grades K–8 with 499 students, and it is part of Jefferson County School District 509J. The area summary lists 1 elementary school, 0 middle schools, 0 high schools, and 0 alternative schools, so this K–8 academy is the only local option for elementary and middle grades — and families must look outside the zip code for high school.
Academically, the school is currently near the bottom of Oregon's rankings: 704th of 709 schools in 2025–26, at the 1st percentile with 0 stars. Its rank history is volatile rather than steadily improving — 696th of 710 (2nd percentile) in 2023–24, up to 531st of 706 (25th percentile) in 2024–25, then back down in 2025–26. All-grade proficiency in 2025–26 OSAS testing is 11.5% in English Language Arts, 6.7% in math, and 7.0% in science, below both the district (25.6%, 15.9%, 14.3%) and far below the state (43.8%, 32.9%, 30.6%). Sixth-grade ELA and math and 8th-grade math are each reported as under 5%. The clearest bright spots are 4th-grade math at 17.0% and 5th-grade ELA at 16.9%, though both remain well below state levels. The district itself ranks 130th of 141, 8th percentile, 0 stars.
Attendance and resources stand out too. Chronic absenteeism is 44.7%, above the district's 41.3% and the state's 33.5%. Free/reduced lunch is reported at 101%, which cannot be literal but signals that economic need is at or near the entire student body. Per-student spending is high at $25,483, and the student-teacher ratio is a favorable 12.8 — but those resources have not yet shown up as broad proficiency gains.
