Summary

Chehalem Elementary School is a public elementary school in Beaverton, Oregon, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 390. The school is part of the Beaverton School District 48J, which is ranked 17 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Chehalem Elementary School has shown some improvement over time, its student performance on the OSAS (Oregon Statewide Assessment System) tests is generally lower than the Beaverton School District and the state of Oregon averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) was 38.3% at Chehalem, compared to 50.4% for the Beaverton School District and 40.3% for the state. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.3% to 38.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Interestingly, Chehalem Elementary School's performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools within the Beaverton School District, such as Hiteon Elementary, Cooper Mountain Elementary, and Sexton Mountain Elementary, which have higher student performance on OSAS tests, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and serve a lower proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. While Chehalem Elementary School has shown improvement over time, the school continues to face challenges and could benefit from targeted interventions and support to better serve its diverse student population.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, February 19, 2018

School claims that they are in loco parentis which they say means they are the parents of your child while at school. Poor communication with teachers and principals. Get everything in writing as they can just say they didn't say certain things or claim you misinterpreted what they said. Administration is pathetic and only seeks to deny your claims and protect their employees. Close Quote

Your child would receive a better education and social experience on the streets of the ghetto vs. this school. Not all administrators are terrible, not all staff are awful, not all of the student body is obnoxious...just the ones that count. Shame on BSD for not addressing this incredibly vile and rank pox within the district! All kids deserve a fair, decent, inclusive and respectful educational experience. If you have no other choice, home school until you can move out of the boundaries! Close Quote
