Summary

Paul L Patterson Elementary School is a K–6 school in Hillsboro, Oregon, serving 351 students as part of Hillsboro School District 1J, and it is a clear high performer even though the district overall ranks mid-pack (69th of 141 districts, 51st percentile, 3 stars).

In 2025–26, Patterson ranked 83rd out of 709 Oregon elementary schools — 88th percentile, 4 stars. That is not a one-year fluke: from 2014–15 through 2025–26 the school stayed between the 84th and 92nd percentiles statewide. Its test scores are well above both district and state averages: 69% proficiency in English language arts (vs. 38.8% district and 43.8% state), 53.3% in math (vs. 29.5% and 32.9%), and 44.8% in science (vs. 25.5% and 30.6%). Patterson sits in a small pocket of strong schools alongside Jackson Elementary School and Atfalati Ridge, while most other nearby campuses — including W L Henry Elementary School and Free Orchards Elementary School — rank in the bottom 10–30% of the state. Patterson has the best ELA results among the nearby top performers, though Jackson and Atfalati Ridge edge it in math and science.

Attendance is a standout strength: chronic absenteeism was 14.1% in 2024–25, roughly half the district (31.8%) and state (33.5%) rates and the lowest among all nearby schools. Subgroup results are generally excellent — students in special education, gifted programs, and Hispanic students rank in the top 5–10% statewide — though the low-socioeconomic-status group, while still above average at the 77th percentile, has slipped from the 94th–95th percentiles of the prior two years and is worth watching. Notably, Patterson achieves these results without a resource advantage: per-student spending was $20,775 in 2024–25, below most nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio of 17.6 is mid-range. The main comparative gap among nearby high performers is upper-grade math and science.

My son loves the school. Teachers are excellent and students all get along and have fun. This is why we moved to this area. Keep up the safety lockdown drills we live in a crazy world need to do more to keep kids safe.. Close Quote
