Summary:

The 97818 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Sam Boardman Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, and has struggled with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to district and state averages.

Sam Boardman Elementary School faces significant challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 68.01% in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's per-student spending for the 2022-2023 school year was $20,149, and it had a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8 for the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate was quite high at 34.3% for the 2023-2024 school year, which may be contributing to its low academic performance.

Overall, Morrow School District 1, which oversees Sam Boardman Elementary School, faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes at this school. The consistently low performance, high poverty levels, and attendance issues suggest that targeted interventions and additional support may be needed to help the school and its students succeed.
