Summary:
The Tigard-Tualatin School District 23J in Oregon is home to 12 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 25 out of 140 school districts in the state and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Several schools within the district stand out for their exceptional academic performance. Mary Woodward Elementary School consistently performs above the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, ranking in the top 25% of Oregon elementary schools. Edward Byrom Elementary School and Art Rutkin Elementary School also demonstrate strong academic achievement, with the latter ranking in the top 5-10% of Oregon elementary schools. Additionally, the public charter school MITCH performs well, with high proficiency rates in core subjects.
However, the district also has some struggling schools, with Tualatin Elementary School and Alberta Rider Elementary School falling behind the state proficiency levels. There appears to be a correlation between higher poverty levels, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and lower academic performance. Smaller schools in the district tend to outperform their larger counterparts, and the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% is a concern that may require attention.
