Schools in Zip Code 97818

Zip code 97818 covers Boardman, Oregon and contains three public schools — Riverside Junior/Senior High School (grades 7–12, 520 students), Sam Boardman Elementary School (grades K–6, 330 students), and Windy River Elementary School (labeled middle school, grades 4–6, 241 students) — all in Morrow School District 1, which is ranked 74th of 141 Oregon districts, at the 48th percentile with 2 stars. Riverside enrolls nearly half of the zip code's 1,091 students.

Riverside is the standout for outcomes that are not test scores: it reports a 100.0% graduation rate, versus the district's 96.7% and the state's 83.0%, and its state rank climbed from 211 of 270 (1 star) to 139 of 271 (2 stars). Yet it also has the zip code's lowest all-grade math, 13.2%, and the highest chronic absenteeism, 38.1%. Sam Boardman looks strongest on climate and resources — the lowest absenteeism at 27.2%, the highest spending at $21,288 per student, and the smallest classes at a 13.2 student-teacher ratio — and its all-grade math of 30.1% beats the district's 23.5%, but its all-grade ELA of 20.5% is the lowest in the area. Windy River posts the lowest single test result in the zip code: science at 5.2% proficient, far below the district's 22.1% and the state's 30.6%.

For parents, the key context is that no school here exceeds the state in any all-grade tested subject. Sam Boardman's math is closest, 30.1% against the state's 32.9%, and the only grade-level result above the state is Riverside's 11th-grade science at 35.0% versus 33.8%. Note also that Sam Boardman (K–6) and Windy River (4–6) overlap in grades 4–6, so this is not a simple elementary-to-middle-to-high pipeline.
