Summary

Mooberry Elementary School is a public elementary school in Hillsboro, Oregon, serving 382 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Hillsboro School District 1J, which is ranked 58 out of 140 school districts in the state.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than the district average, Mooberry Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Hillsboro School District and Oregon state averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, only 18.6% of 3rd graders at Mooberry were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 37.2% for the district and 40.3% for the state. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.7% to 38.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Mooberry's performance is particularly concerning when compared to nearby schools like Jackson Elementary and Paul L Patterson Elementary, which consistently rank among the top-performing elementary schools in the state.

Mooberry Elementary's challenges extend beyond just academic performance, as the school also struggles to support its diverse student population. The school's Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students perform particularly poorly compared to state and district averages. Additionally, Mooberry has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 66.4% to 69.11% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years. Despite these challenges, Mooberry's performance has remained stagnant or even declined over the past several years, indicating a need for a comprehensive, long-term strategy to address the school's persistent issues.

Open Quote AYP= (Adequate Yearly Progress), RC= (Report Card) and RCDS= (Report Card Detail Sheet). All 3 are found on http://www.ode.state.or.us/data/reportcard/reports.aspx
I will attempt to explain all 3 reports the way I see it. Let’s start with the RCDS. RCDS states a satisfactory rating. Why? It combines 2 years (from 2010 -2011). Remember, I would like to see growth year to year. I see it diminish. Attendance, participation, and AYP are the only thing that saves this report as good. That is nothing to me if education falls. I wanted to see if everything was “good” and see a downward trend.
RCDS: It is a 2 year rating averaged from 2010 to 2011 and will show the 2 years respectively. I like to see growth and will report what I see Exceed/Meet for each year. I personally would like to see growth. Attendance, Participation, and AYP cannot be trusted if you look to the report fully. The reason is that attendance and participation should be a part of any school and monitored by truancy laws. The AYP shuffles students to make Oaks scores. IE they will concentrate on good students and leave the rest out.
Let us look, for READING; I would like to Exceed/Meet from 2010 to 2011. We all want that from any school so this report will only use Exceed/Meet. From 2010 to 2011, the Economically Disadvantaged went from 27/128 in 2010 to 27/121 in 2011. Meeting the goal went down. Limited English Proficient went from 5/35 to 8/48 which shows growth in both in both exceeding/meeting (Congratulations). Students with disabilities show 5/21 in 2010 to 4/13 2011. Wow, exceed went down/ the meet went down too (The disabled people are people too!). Hispanic went from 17/100 in 2010 to 23/104 in 2011. This is excellent for the Hispanic group in this report. White of not Hispanic origin went from 39/64 in 2010 to 28/48 in 2011. Both Exceeding /Meeting went down. This is bad for white students.
Let us look, for MATH; Again I use the Exceed/Meet method for each year. The Economically Disadvantaged went from 26/117 in 2010 to 35/71 in 2011 which states that it exceeded from 2010 and met much less in 2011. Why is this much different from reading? Reading and math are paramount! Limited English Proficient is 3/34 for 2010 and 12/34 for 2011. (I give a great Congrats.). Students with Disabilities are 4/20 for 2010 and 3/11 for 2011. That is abysmal. Hispanic is 15/98 in 2010 to 30/59 in 2011. That is great for the exceeding group but bad for the meeting Oaks scores which went down this year in 2011. White of not Hispanic origin went from 32/63 in 2009 and 24/39 in 2011. Both Exceeding/Meeting goals went down and do not fare well for white students.
RC (Report card)
The Report card only states the obvious. Note only that an expulsion took place due to weapons. This is a school that is only k-6. Science is not a big priority. Knowing this, Look to the Report Card (RC) what do I see? Let us look to Achievement Data in the above link. Reading went down across the board. Math went down across the board. This is all from 2010 to 2011.
AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) it seems to me that other than yearly attendance and attending the OAKS scores, there is really nothing that should keep your children in this school. This is Just my opinion. It is only a school with a satisfactory rating. Close Quote

Open Quote I am stymied, this school has achieved just and I mean just a satisfactory rating which can be viewed here: http://schools.oregonlive.com/school/Hillsboro/Mooberry-Elementary-School/
Knowing this, I will let you know that just getting out of the troubled list is the least of the worries for this school. I wont get into bullying from students or teachers because in my opinion, all students are behind more and more the longer they stay there. I withdrew my children to get into a public online school and now realize that they are a year or more behind. Why did the school get a satisfactory rating? was it for attendance and just kids being there for the OAKS exam? Look to the different grades and see how they achieved. This in my humble opinion is abysmal. My opinion is that they did more harm than good. Close Quote
