Summary:
The 97113 zip code area in Oregon is home to three struggling elementary schools - Free Orchards Elementary School, Echo Shaw Elementary School, and Cornelius Elementary School. These schools, which serve students from Hillsboro School District 1J and Forest Grove School District 15, are consistently underperforming on state assessments and face significant challenges in serving their economically disadvantaged student populations.
Among the three schools, Free Orchards Elementary School stands out as the lowest-performing, ranking in the bottom 10% of Oregon elementary schools and with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages. Echo Shaw Elementary School performs slightly better, but still ranks in the bottom half of the state, while Cornelius Elementary School is the lowest-ranked, consistently placing in the bottom 5% of Oregon elementary schools.
The high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 68.97% to 92.99%, indicate that these schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, which likely contributes to their academic challenges. Despite the above-average spending per student and varying student-teacher ratios, the schools are not achieving strong academic results, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and a comprehensive approach to school improvement in this area.
