Summary

Arts and Communication Magnet Academy (ACMA) is a magnet school at 11375 SW Center St in Beaverton, Oregon, serving 690 students in grades 6–12 and ranking 25th of 271 Oregon high schools (91st percentile, 5 stars) in 2025–2026 within Beaverton School District 48J, itself ranked 19th of 141 districts. Its ten-year record is unusually steady: ACMA never fell below the 82nd percentile and spent seven of those years at the 89th percentile or higher.

Where ACMA stands out most is graduation and attendance. Its 97.6% graduation rate is the highest among the comprehensive high schools in this comparison — above Sunset High School, Westview High School, Lincoln High School, Ida B. Wells-Barnett High School, Southridge High School, Beaverton High School and Aloha High School — and sits 8.7 points above its district and 14.6 points above the state, having stayed at 94.3% or higher for five straight years. Chronic absenteeism of 26.1% also beats the district (28.7%) and state (33.5%). Reading/language arts (58.1% proficient) and science (44.4%) are above district and state averages; math (33.7%) is the one subject below district (43.7%). Notably, ACMA achieves this with a free/reduced-lunch rate (50.6%) nearly identical to Aloha, Beaverton, Westview and Sunset, and spends $18,103 per student — less than Aloha ($20,221), Southridge ($20,639) and Beaverton ($21,229).

The one clear vulnerability is middle-school math. In grades 7 and 8, ACMA trails both district and state (31.4% and 26.3% proficient), while grade 11 math (40.0%) is above district and state and grade 11 ELA (70.2%) is 24 points above the state. Among Beaverton's three 6–12 option schools — International School of Beaverton (#3) and Beaverton Academy of Science and Engineering (#7) — ACMA ranks third, though magnet programs attract applicants who choose them, so self-selection likely explains part of the gap. Also note that ACMA's free/reduced-lunch figure jumped from about 27% to about 51% between 2023–24 and 2024–25, a change every nearby school shows, suggesting a reporting change rather than a demographic shift.

I have been at ACMA since middle school. Upon my graduation I will have had spent 7 years in that building. Through out the years studying there I have never experienced a place so welcoming and considerate. ACMA is a second home for me and will never be replaced. Close Quote
