Summary:
The city of Forest Grove, Oregon is home to 9 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, serving students from preschool through 12th grade. The district as a whole struggles academically, with most schools performing below the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.
However, a few schools stand out as top performers in the district. Dilley Elementary School consistently performs above the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency for grades 3 and 4, and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking among the top 20% of Oregon elementary schools. Similarly, Forest Grove Community School, a public charter school, also outperforms the district and state in most academic areas, with a 4-star rating and a ranking in the top 30% of Oregon elementary schools.
In contrast, Neil Armstrong Middle School and Tom McCall Upper Elementary have the lowest proficiency rates in the Forest Grove School District 15. The district's overall ranking of 91 out of 140 in the state and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger indicate a need for comprehensive improvement efforts to address the underlying issues, such as high poverty rates and chronic absenteeism, while learning from the successful practices of the top-performing schools.
