Summary

Barnes Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 13730 SW Walker Rd in Beaverton, Oregon, serving 451 students as part of the Beaverton School District 48J, one of Oregon's strongest districts (ranked 19th of 141) — yet Barnes itself ranked 593rd of 709 Oregon schools in 2025-26, placing it in the 16th percentile with 1 star.

That gap is the central fact for families. Barnes scored 27.3% in English language arts, 18.5% in math, and 9.8% in science — last among the eleven nearby schools compared, behind Beaver Acres Elementary School, Elmonica Elementary School, and even fellow 1-star schools William Walker Elementary School and Aloha-Huber Park School. The school's overall numbers also hide a sharp split by grade: third graders were at or above the state average in both reading and math, while fourth grade fell to 17.4% in ELA and just 5.8% in math — roughly 1 in 17 students meeting grade-level math standards, the lowest figure in the peer group. Fifth grade stayed low. Notably, Barnes's third graders outperformed Beaver Acres Elementary School and William Walker Elementary School on entry-level skills, suggesting the erosion happens after students arrive rather than before. Neighbors with higher poverty rates buck the trend: Ridgewood Elementary School ranks in the 93rd percentile and Fir Grove Elementary School in the 72nd.

Chronic absenteeism is the most actionable concern: 40% of students are chronically absent, above the district (28.7%) and state (33.5%) and worst in the peer group. Nearby schools under 20% absenteeism — Cedar Mill Elementary School, Ridgewood Elementary School, Terra Linda Elementary School — all rank 85th percentile or higher. There is real momentum: the 2025-26 rank was a ten-year high, and Hispanic and low-income students now rank near the middle of their statewide peer groups (mid-40s), well above the school overall. Bottom line: $21,935 per student and a 13.9-to-1 student-teacher ratio, deep achievement gaps, and genuine recent progress.

The staff is always helpful. My son is in the Spanish Immersion program and will be bilingual by 4th grade. His teacher is wonderful -- Maestra Carolina.
My daughter's teacher is great as well -- Mrs. Marlia. Barnes has been a wonderful school for my kids. Close Quote
