Summary:
The 97883 zip code area is home to two schools - Union Elementary School and Union High School, both part of the Union School District 5. While Union High School is a standout performer, ranking 89 out of 270 Oregon high schools, Union Elementary School lags behind, ranking between 434-469 out of 706 Oregon elementary schools.
Union High School boasts a 4-year graduation rate of 81.8%, higher than the state average, and outperforms the state in English Language Arts and Science proficiency. In contrast, Union Elementary School has lower performance metrics compared to state averages. Both schools, however, face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and serve communities with significant socioeconomic challenges, as indicated by the high percentages of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch.
The data suggests a potential performance gap between the elementary and high school levels within the district, despite the higher than average per-student spending. Addressing attendance issues and optimizing resource allocation may be key focus areas for the district to improve outcomes across all grade levels.
