Summary

Charles F Tigard Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tigard, Oregon, serving 453 students in grades K-5 and part of the Tigard-Tualatin School District 23J.

The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 140th out of 705 Oregon elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 372nd out of 706 in 2024-2025. Its performance on state assessments is generally lower than the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas, with particularly concerning results for certain student subgroups. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (23.1%) and Mathematics (24.4%) are significantly below the district (43.8% and 43%, respectively) and state (40.3% and 40.1%) averages. Compared to nearby schools like Alberta Rider Elementary, Durham Elementary, and Metzger Elementary, Charles F Tigard Elementary School generally underperforms.

The school also faces challenges with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 21.6% to 39.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and comparable to other nearby schools. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 37.68% to 49.01% in recent years, indicating a significant population of students from low-income families. While the school's per-student spending has increased and is higher than the state average, it is unclear whether the resources are being effectively utilized to support student learning and address the identified areas of concern.
