Summary

Tamarack Elementary School is a K–6 school in Hillsboro, Oregon, serving 337 students as part of Hillsboro School District 1J, which ranks 69th of 141 districts in Oregon (51st percentile, 3 stars). Tamarack itself has held a steady 3-star rating for three years, ranking 271st of 709 Oregon schools in 2025–26 (62nd percentile), 299th of 706 in 2024–25 (58th percentile), and 247th of 710 in 2023–24 (65th percentile) — consistently above the district average but not quite in the top tier of its neighbors.

On 2025–26 state tests, Tamarack scored above both district and state averages in every subject: 46.0% proficient in English language arts (vs. 38.8% district, 43.8% state), 41.2% in math (vs. 29.5% and 32.9%), and 34.7% in science (vs. 25.5% and 30.6%). Math is its strongest relative advantage, running 11.7 points above the district. Among 11 nearby schools, Tamarack ranks 4th in ELA, math, and science — behind only three 4-star schools, Ladd Acres Elementary School, Indian Hills Elementary School, and Imlay Elementary School — while clearly outperforming the rest of the nearby cluster, including Rosedale Elementary School just 0.4 miles away.

Two areas stand out. First, attendance is a genuine strength: chronic absenteeism is 23.7%, better than the district (31.8%) and state (33.5%), and third-best among nearby schools. Second, 3rd- and 5th-grade results are strong, but 6th grade is a clear weak spot — 6th-grade math proficiency is just 20.0%, below the district and state, and roughly half the school's 3rd-grade math rate, which drags down overall averages. Note also that reported per-student spending of $6,885 is far below every nearby school (all above $20,000), which likely reflects a reporting difference worth verifying. On subgroup effectiveness, English Language Learner students rank in the 86th percentile (4 stars), while low-income students rank in the 23rd percentile (1 star) — a notable equity gap to ask about.
