Summary

Community School is a public high school serving grades 9–12 at 1841 SW Merlo Dr in Beaverton, Oregon, with 149 students, inside the high-performing Beaverton School District 48J. It is the smallest high school in its comparison set, yet it has the lowest state ranking, finishing 271st of 271 Oregon high schools in 2025–2026 and ranking in the bottom 10% in each of the last four reported years. On the latest measures, 12.5% of students met ELA standards, math proficiency was under 5%, and science proficiency was 5%—all the lowest in the local set. Chronic absenteeism was 80.0%, and the graduation rate was 64.2%. Per-pupil spending was $42,043, about double nearby comprehensive high schools, while the student–teacher ratio was 9.6:1, far below local peers.

Nearby contrasts are striking: International School of Beaverton, 1.22 miles away, ranks 3rd of 271 with 100% graduation and 15.7% chronic absenteeism. The closest academic peer on test scores is Aloha High School, where ELA (12.0%), math (6.6%) and science (13.3%) are similar, but Aloha's graduation rate is 83.8% and chronic absenteeism 48.7%, versus Community's 64.2% and 80.0%. In other words, the biggest gap is persistence and attendance, not just test performance.

One positive trend: graduation improved from 47.7% in 2022–23 to 51.5% in 2023–24 to 64.2% in 2024–25, though it remains below district and state averages and below the school's 2021–22 rate of 73.3%. Attendance has stayed severe for four years. A bright spot was special education students, who in 2023–24 ranked 49th of 69 (29th percentile, 2 stars), above the school's overall standing that year; the next year fell. Spending has declined and class sizes have risen. Parents should ask about attendance supports, graduation pathways, and how special education practices can be extended.
