The 97827 zip code in Oregon is home to two schools: Stella Mayfield Elementary School and Elgin High School, both part of the Elgin School District 23. These schools face challenges related to high rates of economic disadvantage, chronic absenteeism, and inconsistent academic performance.
Stella Mayfield Elementary School has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% and a mixed academic performance, with some grade levels performing above the state average in ELA and Math, while others are below. The school has a high percentage of students (68.26%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need student population. In contrast, Elgin High School has a decent 4-year graduation rate of 81.8%, but its academic performance is generally below the state average in ELA, Math, and Science.

Both schools face challenges related to funding and resources, as the higher per-student spending at Elgin High School ($22,706) compared to Stella Mayfield Elementary School ($18,827) does not seem to translate into significantly better academic outcomes. Addressing the underlying factors and implementing targeted interventions may be necessary to improve educational outcomes for the students in this area.
