Summary:
The 97003 zip code area in Oregon is home to two schools - Beaver Acres Elementary School and Community School, both part of the Beaverton School District 48J. While the district is ranked 19 out of 140 in Oregon, the performance of these two schools within the district is concerning.
Beaver Acres Elementary School is ranked 608 out of 710 Oregon elementary schools and has consistently lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the district and state averages. The school also has a high free/reduced lunch rate of 67.02%, suggesting a predominantly low-income student population. In contrast, Community School, a high school, is ranked 242 out of 268 Oregon high schools and has significantly lower proficiency rates across all core subjects compared to the district and state.
Both schools face challenges, with high poverty levels and resource allocation concerns. Community School spends significantly more per student ($53,419) than the state average, yet this does not translate into higher academic performance. The low student-teacher ratio at Community School (6.9) suggests a focus on smaller class sizes, but this strategy does not seem to be effective in improving student outcomes. Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions to address the performance gaps and support student success in these schools.
