Summary

McKinley Elementary School is a large PK–5 neighborhood school with 666 students in the Beaverton School District 48J, drawing from the 97006 area along NW 185th Avenue in Beaverton, OR, where several schools sit within about two miles of one another.

McKinley ranks 499th of 709 Oregon elementary schools (30th percentile, 1 star) and has been in the bottom third of the state every year since 2021–2022. Its district is strong — 19th of 141 Oregon districts — but the school itself trails its district by roughly 16–18 points in every subject: 37.6% proficient in English language arts, 26.9% in math, and 19.8% in science, which is under 1 in 5 students. Math erodes across grades, from 32.6% in 3rd to 21.3% in 5th. Chronic absenteeism is 35.5% — the highest in its comparison set and roughly double high-performing neighbors Bethany (16.3%), Oak Hills (17.6%) and Rock Creek (18.4%). It has improved from 52.6% two years ago, making attendance the most actionable number here.

Bethany Elementary is under a mile away and lands in the top 4% of Oregon, while Rock Creek and Oak Hills sit in the 93rd–94th percentile — similar neighborhood, similar district, and similar free/reduced lunch rates. Yet McKinley spends more per student than Bethany and Oak Hills, and its 14.7:1 student–teacher ratio is the second-lowest in the set, so money and class size don't explain the gap. The school is improving broadly: overall rank moved from the 17th to the 30th percentile in one year, with gains across many student groups, though English language learners remain a group where the school lags peer schools. Some state data is suppressed for privacy, and some group rankings rest on small numbers of comparison schools.
