Summary

Multi-sensory Instruction Teaching Children Hands-On (MITCH) is a public charter elementary school located in Tualatin, Oregon, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 240 students. As part of the Tigard-Tualatin School District, which is ranked 25 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, MITCH consistently outperforms the district and the state of Oregon in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects.

In the 2024-2025 school year, 72.2% of 3rd graders at MITCH were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 43.8% in the district and 40.3% statewide. MITCH's 5th-grade students also performed exceptionally well, with 54.8% proficient or better in Science, compared to 32.7% in the district and 30.4% statewide. The school's focus on multi-sensory instruction and hands-on learning appears to be effective, as evidenced by the strong performance of its students, including those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

While MITCH outperforms many of the nearby traditional public schools, such as Deer Creek Elementary, Alberta Rider Elementary, and Tualatin Elementary, it still lags behind the top-performing schools in the Lake Oswego School District and the West Linn-Wilsonville School District, suggesting that there may be opportunities for further improvement at MITCH.

MITCH is an excellent school. My daughter has gone here since Kindergarten and now as a 5th grader is excelling in academics. She is taught in a safe bully free environment that focuses on character development as well as stellar academics. Close Quote
