Summary:
The 97886 zip code is home to a single school, Weston Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Athena-Weston School District 29RJ. The district is ranked 38 out of 140 school districts in Oregon and has a 4-star rating.
Weston Middle School has a mixed academic performance, with stronger proficiency rates in English Language Arts compared to Mathematics and Science. The school has a 3-star rating and its statewide ranking has fluctuated between 119 and 162 out of 368-380 Oregon middle schools over the past three school years. The school serves a high-poverty student population, with 71.66% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.7 and higher per-student spending of $20,467 for the 2022-2023 school year.
One area of concern for Weston Middle School is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school may need to investigate the root causes of this issue and implement targeted interventions to improve attendance and support student learning. Overall, Weston Middle School appears to have access to resources that could be leveraged to support student success, but it also faces challenges in addressing the needs of its high-poverty student population and improving academic outcomes across all subject areas.
