Summary:
Beaverton School District 48J serves roughly 13,061 high school students across 10 schools — seven comprehensive 9–12 campuses plus three option or magnet schools that span grades 6–12 — in a district ranked 19th of 141 in Oregon. One caveat matters when reading scores: the magnet schools' "All Grades" results blend middle and high school testing, while the comprehensive schools test essentially only 11th graders.
The three magnet schools are the district's clear standouts. International School of Beaverton ranks 3rd of 271 statewide with a 100% graduation rate and the lowest chronic absenteeism in the district (15.7%). Beaverton Academy of Science and Engineering ranks 7th, also with a 100% graduation rate, and Arts and Communication Magnet Academy ranks 25th at 97.6% graduation. Among traditional high schools, Sunset High School leads with a 47th statewide rank, a 95.4% graduation rate, and the highest ELA (63.5%) and math (46.9%) of any comprehensive campus. Mountainside High School and Westview High School are consistent 4-star performers with notably strong science scores.
At the other end, Aloha High School ranks 263rd of 271 with 0 stars and proficiency of 12% in ELA and 6.6% in math. Community School ranks last in Oregon, with 80% chronic absenteeism and math proficiency under 5%. Beaverton High School and Southridge High School also trail, each graduating about 84%. Two patterns stand out for parents: free/reduced-lunch rates are nearly identical (about 50%) across all ten schools, so intake demographics do not explain the wide performance spread, and absenteeism tracks achievement almost perfectly, from 15.7% at the top school to 80% at the bottom. Higher per-student spending does not predict better results here either.
