Best Public Schools in Lake Oswego, OR

Summary:

The city of Lake Oswego, Oregon is home to an exceptional school district, the Lake Oswego School District 7J, which operates 13 schools across 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 4 high schools. The district is ranked 2 out of 140 school districts in Oregon and is rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating its strong academic performance and commitment to education.

Several schools within the district stand out as top performers in the state. Westridge Elementary School is ranked 1st out of 706 Oregon elementary schools, with exceptional test scores across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, and a 5-star rating. Other highly ranked schools include Forest Hills Elementary School, Hallinan Elementary School, Lake Oswego Middle School, Lakeridge High School, and Lake Oswego Senior High School, all of which have earned 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger.

While the Lake Oswego School District as a whole is an exceptional performer, the data also reveals some areas for potential improvement. The district's chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% is higher than the state average, and there is variation in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 5.64% at Westridge Elementary to 35.48% at Harmony Academy, indicating potential socioeconomic disparities within the district. Additionally, the higher spending per student at the high school level compared to the elementary and middle school levels is an interesting finding that could be explored further.
