Summary

Bethany Elementary School is a K–5 public school in Beaverton, OR, serving 413 students in Beaverton School District 48J, a district that already ranks 19th of 141 in Oregon. Bethany stands out even within that strong district: in 2025–26 it ranked 29th of 709 Oregon elementary schools (96th percentile, 5 stars), and every year in the available history is a 5-star year, with statewide percentile ranks between 96 and 99. It peaked at 9th of 701 in 2016–17 and placed 12th of 710 in 2023–24. Nearby, Findley Elementary and Jacob Wismer Elementary School are also top-tier, while Rock Creek Elementary School (41), Springville Elementary School (48), Oak Hills Elementary School (50) and McKinley Elementary School (499) rank far lower in 2025–26.

Academically, Bethany sits at or near the top of its comparison group. In 2025–26 OSAS results, 75.9% of all students were proficient in English language arts, versus 53.4% district and 43.8% state — the highest nearby, ahead of Findley (74.8%) and Jacob Wismer (73.3%). Math proficiency was 70.8% (district 43.7%, state 32.9%), third nearby behind Findley's 77.3% and Jacob Wismer's 72.4%. Science was 58.5%, well above district and state but fourth among nearby schools. Fourth-grade ELA (81%) and third-grade ELA (68.3%) were both the highest nearby, and fifth-grade math was 76.9%, second only to Findley.

Results hold across student groups: the low-income subgroup ranked 1st of 521 in 2025–26, the special education subgroup 1st of 352 in 2024–25, and Hispanic students 8th of 377 in 2025–26 — strong signals that the school serves many populations well, not just on average. Chronic absenteeism was 16.3% in 2024–25, well below the district's 28.7% and the state's 33.5%, though Findley (9.2%) and Terra Linda Elementary School (12.8%) were lower. Spending and class size don't simply explain the outcomes: Bethany's $18,771 per-student spending is mid-range nearby and its 18.3 student-teacher ratio is higher than lower-performing Elmonica Elementary School (14.8), Terra Linda (14.4) and McKinley (14.7). The main relative opportunities are science proficiency and absenteeism.

This has been an amazing school! The teachers and staff are wonderful and the principal is outstanding. This school has a very strong PTO and many PTO funded programs and events. Teachers are well supported. Staff and students are happy there too. We’ve had a very positive experience and highly recommend Bethany Elementary! Close Quote

Principal Rafael Montelongo and his amazing staff run a top notch school where kids and parents and teachers all feel appreciated as they actively participate in pursuit of a positive learning environment. The Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) program definitely helps foster more fatherly volunteerism which enhances the feeling safety and security at school. Oregon's premiere elementary school...

I used to go to Bethany in 4th and 5th grade. It was one of the best and friendliest schools I ever went to. I felt like teachers actually cared about what I did, and did their absolute best. I had some of my highest test scores there (where on the OAKS I think I scored about 252), and I made some of my best friends. There's really no school like this one, and I'm not surprised it's better than 99.9% of all other schools. -Wolfgang Stolte Close Quote
