Summary:
ZIP code 97824 contains just one school — Cove Charter School, an alternative K–12 school in Cove, Oregon with 290 students — and it belongs to Cove School District 15. Because there are no separate elementary, middle, or high schools in this area, the district figures and the school figures are identical in every category, so the meaningful comparison is between this school and Oregon state averages.
The strongest results are in graduation, attendance, and English language arts. The graduation rate is 96.4% against Oregon's 83.0%, and chronic absenteeism is 20.5% versus the state's 33.5% — both well ahead of the state, though roughly 1 in 5 students is still chronically absent. In ELA, 59.3% of all grades met proficiency versus 43.8% statewide, and the school beats the state in every grade except 8th. The biggest ELA advantages are in 11th grade (76.9% vs. 46.0%) and 3rd grade (70.6% vs. 41.5%). Math is more uneven: overall 36.0% vs. 32.9% statewide, with a standout 6th-grade result of 66.7% against the state's 29.7%, and 11th grade at 34.6% vs. 22.9%.
The clearest soft spot is 8th grade, where the school trails the state in ELA, math, and science — science proficiency is 5.0% compared with 27.7% statewide, the sharpest negative gap in the data. Fourth-, 7th-, and 8th-grade math also fall below state levels. With 290 students spread across K–12, each grade averages only about 22 students, so a few students can move a grade-level percentage significantly; these grade results are best read as signals rather than precise estimates. For context, 51.38% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, per-student spending is $24,298, and the student-teacher ratio is 15.2.
