Summary

Rock Creek Elementary School is a K–5 school of 398 students in the Beaverton School District 48J, located at 4125 NW 185th Ave in Portland, OR (97229), inside a dense cluster of high-performing elementary schools. For 2025–26, it ranks 41st of 709 Oregon elementary schools — 94th percentile, 5 stars — top ~6% statewide. That matches its 2018–19 best and recovers from a 2022–23 dip to 145th (79th percentile). It has earned 5 stars in six of the last ten years, including the last two.

Academically, Rock Creek’s 2025–26 results are far above district and state averages: 71.3% proficiency in English language arts, 63.4% in math, and 57.7% in science, clearing the district by roughly 18–20 points and the state by 27–31 points. Nearby Bethany Elementary School (0.68 miles away, 96th percentile) is slightly higher, and Jacob Wismer Elementary School (2.33 miles, 96th percentile) also ranks higher. Rock Creek beats the comparison-group average by about 15 ELA, 12 math, and 17 science points. Chronic absenteeism is 18.4%, well below the district’s 28.7% and the state’s 33.5%. Math is the relative soft spot: the ELA–math gap is 7.9 points and widens in upper grades, with 5th-grade math at 59.2% versus 5th-grade ELA at 74.6%. Science is a quiet strength.

Rock Creek’s male students rank 19th of 657 statewide (97th percentile), and special education students rank 19th of 355 (95th percentile); female students are at the 90th percentile. The low-SES subgroup has been less stable, with percentile ranks of 44, 24, and 67 across three years. The free/reduced-lunch jump to 50.5% in 2024–25 is almost certainly a district-wide program/reporting change, since Beaverton peers also converged near 50%, unlike Hillsboro School District 1J schools, which are higher and more dispersed. Rock Creek spends the most in the comparison set at $21,609 per student, but similarly high-spending McKinley Elementary School and Elmonica Elementary School are among the lowest performers, while lower-spending Springville Elementary School and Jacob Wismer are strong. Six of eleven nearby schools are at or above the 90th percentile. Test scores are 2025–26; spending, absenteeism, and ratio figures are 2024–25.
