Summary:

The 97885 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Wallowa Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and has a student population of 102. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 273 to 414 out of 706-710 Oregon elementary schools, and its SchoolDigger rating varying between 2 and 3 stars out of 5.

Academically, Wallowa Elementary School has shown mixed results. While its English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency rates for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades have ranged from 28.6% to 62.5%, the school's Science proficiency for 5th grade has been relatively low, at 11.1% in 2024-2025 and 20% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of around 30%. The school's student-teacher ratio of 11.3 is lower than the state average, but it has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 47.06% in 2023-2024 and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% in the same school year.

Despite the challenges faced by Wallowa Elementary School, the data suggests that the school's performance and student outcomes may be influenced by a variety of factors, including the socioeconomic status of the community it serves and the overall educational landscape in the Wallowa School District 12. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the school's areas of concern and improve the educational experience for its students.
