Summary:
The 97006 zip code area, primarily served by the Beaverton School District 48J, is home to 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. This diverse educational landscape features a mix of high-performing and lower-performing institutions, with standout schools like Beaverton Academy of Science and Engineering, Oak Hills Elementary School, and Bethany Elementary School consistently ranking among the top schools in Oregon.
The data reveals a significant gap in academic performance between the top-performing and lower-performing schools in the 97006 zip code. For instance, the proficiency rates in English Language Arts for 5th-grade students range from an impressive 82.4% at Bethany Elementary to a concerning 11.1% at Reedville Elementary School. This disparity appears to be correlated with the schools' socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, with higher-poverty schools generally underperforming their more affluent counterparts.
Despite the variability within the Beaverton School District, the Beaverton Academy of Science and Engineering stands out as an exceptional high school, consistently ranking among the top 10 in the state. This suggests the school may have effective practices or resources that contribute to its strong academic outcomes, which could serve as a model for other schools in the district.
