Summary

McKay Elementary School is a public elementary school in Beaverton, Oregon, serving 244 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Beaverton School District 48J, which is ranked 17 out of 140 districts in the state.

While McKay Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, its current proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are lower than the district and state averages, particularly in the upper grades. The school has a higher percentage of Hispanic students and English Language Learners compared to the overall student population, but these subgroups perform better than the school's overall performance. However, McKay faces significant challenges, including a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which likely contribute to the lower academic achievement.

Interestingly, Raleigh Hills Elementary, Fir Grove Elementary, and Hiteon Elementary, which are nearby schools within the Beaverton School District, have higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings than McKay Elementary. Understanding the successful strategies used by these schools could provide valuable insights for McKay to address its own challenges and support its diverse student population more effectively.
