Summary:
The 97820 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Humbolt Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 with an enrollment of 253 students. The school is part of the John Day School District 3, which is ranked 64 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 3-star rating.
Humbolt Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 298 out of 710 Oregon elementary schools in 2023-2024 (3-star rating) to 516 out of 706 in 2024-2025 (1-star rating). The school's test scores show a mixed performance, with stronger results in 3rd-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics but weaker results in higher grade levels, particularly in Mathematics. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3%, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance.
Despite these challenges, Humbolt Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.6, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school serves a significant population of students from low-income families, with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing the unique needs of this student population and improving attendance and academic progress across all grade levels could be crucial in enhancing the school's overall outcomes.
