Best Public Schools in Zip Code 97443

The 97443 zip code area is home to 3 schools in the Glide School District 12, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the academic performance of these schools is generally below the state averages.

Glide Elementary School and Glide Middle School are both consistently ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in Oregon, with student proficiency rates in core subjects significantly below state averages. In contrast, Glide High School performs slightly better, with proficiency rates closer to the state average, but still with room for improvement, particularly in Mathematics and Science.

The district's spending per student varies, with the high school spending the most at $20,057 per student, followed by the elementary school at $17,118 and the middle school at $13,764. This suggests a need to allocate more resources to the middle school to address the performance gap. Additionally, the high student-to-teacher ratio at the middle school may be a contributing factor to the lower academic outcomes observed at that level.
