Summary:

The 97820 zip code in Oregon is home to a single elementary school, Humbolt Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance and characteristics provide a mixed picture, with some areas of strength but also significant challenges that require attention.

Humbolt Elementary School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 298th out of 710 Oregon elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 516th out of 706 in 2024-2025. While the school's 3rd-grade students performed well on state assessments, with 50% proficiency in English Language Arts and 66.7% in Mathematics, proficiency rates drop significantly in higher grade levels, with only 12.9% of 4th-graders and 5.9% of 5th-graders achieving proficiency in Mathematics. The school also faces a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3%, which can have a significant impact on student learning and academic outcomes.

Humbolt Elementary School serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with over 50% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending of $23,817 in the 2022-2023 school year is higher than the state average, but the data suggests that additional resources and support may be needed to address the unique needs of the student population and improve academic performance across all grade levels. The John Day School District 3, which Humbolt Elementary School is a part of, is ranked 64th out of 140 districts in Oregon and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
