Summary

McKay Elementary School is a PK–5 neighborhood school in Beaverton, Oregon, part of Beaverton School District 48J, serving 242 students — the smallest enrollment of any traditional district school nearby — with a high-poverty population of 69.0% economically disadvantaged in 2024-25. On the 2025-26 state ranking it sits at 347th of 709 Oregon elementary schools (51st percentile, 3 stars), squarely mid-pack statewide and a large improvement from its 1-star, 28th-percentile low in 2018-19.

Achievement is mixed. McKay beats the state average in reading (48.1% vs. 43.8%) and matches it in math (33.3% vs. 32.9%), but trails its district in all three subjects, with science the weakest (26.0%). Compared with nearby schools, McKay clusters with Raleigh Hills Elementary School and Greenway Elementary School and outranks Vose Elementary School, but trails Hiteon Elementary School, Fir Grove Elementary School, Raleigh Park Elementary School, Montclair Elementary School, Metzger Elementary School (in Tigard-Tualatin School District 23J), and the two area charters, Arco Iris Spanish Immersion School and Hope Chinese Charter School. Notably, the school's strongest relative results are with its highest-need learners: English learners rank in the 82nd percentile and special education students in the 72nd — both above its overall standing.

The defining challenge is a steep drop in scores between 3rd and 5th grade. McKay's 3rd graders outperform both district and state in reading and math, while its 5th graders fall below the state in both, and its 36.0% 5th-grade reading score is the lowest among nearby schools. Attendance is a clear bright spot: chronic absenteeism fell from 38.6% to 25.0% in two years, now below district and state rates. McKay also spends more per student ($29,397) and has smaller classes (11.5:1) than any nearby traditional school, yet several leaner-budget peers post higher proficiency.
