Tobias Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Aloha, Oregon, serving 411 students in grades K-6 and part of the Hillsboro School District 1J.
While Tobias Elementary School was once a strong performer, it has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 160th out of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 489th out of 710 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on state assessments (OSAS) is generally below the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels, with particularly concerning low performance among male students, as well as the school's Hispanic and low socioeconomic status student populations. Tobias Elementary's student-teacher ratio has also been steadily increasing, from 17.9 in 2021-2022 to 17.1 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the ratios of the nearby Quatama Elementary, Butternut Creek Elementary, and Ladd Acres Elementary schools, which generally outperform Tobias on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings.
Despite Tobias Elementary School's per-student spending of $16,699 in 2021-2022 being on par with the nearby Hillsboro School District schools, the school's declining academic performance and increasing student-teacher ratio suggest that addressing the underlying factors, such as the specific needs of the school's diverse student population, may be crucial in improving the outcomes at Tobias Elementary School.
