Summary:
The 97462 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Oakland School District 1. While the district as a whole is ranked in the middle of Oregon's school districts, the individual schools show more variation in their performance.
Oakland High School stands out as the strongest performer, with 66.7% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, well above the state average of 45.2%. Lincoln Middle School also demonstrates solid ELA proficiency across grades 5-8, outperforming both the state and district averages. In contrast, Oakland Elementary School struggles with math proficiency, with only 18.2% of 4th graders meeting or exceeding standards, significantly below the state average of 37.7%.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the academic performance of these schools, as all three have elevated free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 47.51% at Oakland High School to 65.32% at Oakland Elementary School. This suggests the district serves a relatively high-need student population, which could contribute to the challenges observed in math proficiency across the schools. Addressing these disparities and improving student outcomes, particularly in mathematics, may be an area of focus for the district moving forward.
