Summary

Chehalem Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 396 students on SW Davis Road in Beaverton, Oregon, part of the large, high-performing Beaverton School District 48J, which ranks 19th of 141 Oregon districts. In 2025–26 the school ranked 293rd of 709 Oregon elementary schools — the 59th percentile, a solid three stars.

Chehalem's long-term trend is upward: it spent the mid-2010s as a two-star school in the low 40s before settling into a stable three-star, roughly 65th-percentile plateau from 2021–22 through 2023–24. The past two years have softened to the 55th–59th range — still solidly three stars, but a real step back. In every subject, Chehalem scores above the Oregon average but below its own district: 48.1% in English language arts (state 43.8%, district 53.4%), 38.7% in math (state 32.9%, district 43.7%), and 32.8% in science (state 30.6%, district 37.7%). Among eleven nearby Beaverton elementaries, Chehalem ranks seventh in all three subjects.

The clearest pressure point is the upper grades. Third grade matches district averages in reading and math, but by fifth grade reading trails the district by 15.6 points and math by 18.4 points, and fifth-grade math (27.9%) is the only Chehalem result below the state average. Neighboring Hiteon Elementary School (59%) and Sexton Mountain Elementary School (47.7%) show this slide isn't inevitable. Attendance is improving fast — chronic absenteeism fell 8.1 points in two years to 31.6%, better than the state's 33.5% but still second-highest among nearby schools. Chehalem also spends $23,763 per student (second-highest of its peers) with the smallest classes (13.6 students per teacher), while Nancy Ryles Elementary School achieves stronger results with less money and larger classes.

What people are saying
by a parent
Monday, February 19, 2018

Open Quote School claims that they are in loco parentis which they say means they are the parents of your child while at school. Poor communication with teachers and principals. Get everything in writing as they can just say they didn't say certain things or claim you misinterpreted what they said. Administration is pathetic and only seeks to deny your claims and protect their employees. Close Quote

Open Quote Your child would receive a better education and social experience on the streets of the ghetto vs. this school. Not all administrators are terrible, not all staff are awful, not all of the student body is obnoxious...just the ones that count. Shame on BSD for not addressing this incredibly vile and rank pox within the district! All kids deserve a fair, decent, inclusive and respectful educational experience. If you have no other choice, home school until you can move out of the boundaries! Close Quote
