Summary:
The 97862 zip code is home to a single high school, McLoughlin High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking and consistently low academic performance, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
Milton-Freewater Unified School District 7 operates McLoughlin High School, which has a high percentage of students (74.57%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged population. The school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, likely due to the need to support its economically disadvantaged student population. However, the continued low performance suggests that these resources may not be effectively addressing the root causes of the school's challenges.
McLoughlin High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 81.8%, which is below the state average, and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3%, significantly higher than the state average. These factors, combined with the school's declining statewide ranking and low proficiency rates, suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes at the school.
