Summary

W Verne McKinney Elementary School is a public elementary school in Hillsboro, Oregon, serving 418 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Hillsboro School District 1J, which is ranked 58 out of 140 districts in the state.

While W Verne McKinney Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a 3-star rating to a 2-star rating, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. White students and Special Education students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 30-40% of Oregon elementary schools, but Male students, Hispanic students, and English Language Learner students perform poorly, ranking in the bottom 30-40%. The school also faces a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 23.3% to 34.3% in recent years.

Compared to nearby elementary schools in the Hillsboro School District, such as Paul L Patterson Elementary and Jackson Elementary, W Verne McKinney Elementary generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. This suggests the challenges faced by the school may be unique, and the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (over 68% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) may be contributing to the academic difficulties.
