Summary

North Plains Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 219 students in grades K-6 in the Hillsboro School District 1J in Oregon. The school has consistently ranked in the top half of Oregon elementary schools, with a current 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Plains Elementary School outperforms the district and state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 64.7% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 40.6% for the district and 46.7% for the state. The school also has particularly strong performance among Hispanic students and students with special needs, ranking 45th and 43rd out of hundreds of Oregon elementary schools in those categories, respectively. Additionally, North Plains Elementary spends more per student ($22,186 in 2022-2023) compared to district and state averages.

While North Plains Elementary School is a high-performing school overall, it has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 25.0% in 2023-2024 to 38.1% in 2022-2023. When compared to other highly ranked elementary schools in the Hillsboro School District, such as Paul L. Patterson Elementary and Jackson Elementary, North Plains outperforms its peers in several areas. However, the school should closely monitor potential equity issues, as the performance of white students and female students has declined in recent years.

by a parent
Friday, August 22, 2014

The 2-star rating is a mistake. If you look at the math scores, the average was 83.7% passing the OAKS test. The write-up says 58%.

Having been a parent of three children at this school, I can tell you the teachers are all dedicated, qualified and hard-working. The community is close-knit and for a rural school, we have exceptional families. I am disappointed in this website. For parents looking for decent schools, these sites promise to provide unbiased information. Please, check your figures and amend your mistake! Close Quote
