Summary

Arco Iris Spanish Immersion School is a K–8 school in Beaverton, OR, serving 417 students as part of Beaverton School District 48J. The district ranks 19th of 141 Oregon districts, and the school ranks 154th of 709 statewide in 2025–2026—78th percentile with 4 stars. That is still solidly above average, though lower than its earlier peaks in the 90th-plus percentile, when it earned 5 stars.

In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was above district and state averages: 56.4% in English language arts, 53.5% in math, and 44.6% in science. Math is the clearest strength, beating the district by 9.8 points and the state by 20.6 points; it is near the top locally, essentially tied with Hiteon Elementary School and trailing only Montclair Elementary School. Third grade is exceptionally strong, with 74.6% math and 68.3% ELA—the highest among nearby schools. Fourth grade dips, though, with 47.2% ELA and 39.6% math, both below district averages and many nearby schools. Fifth-grade science remains a relative strength at 44.6%.

Chronic absenteeism is 21.2%, better than the district’s 28.7% and the state’s 33.5%, and improved from 35.0% in 2022–2023, though Sexton Mountain Elementary School, Montclair Elementary School, Mary Woodward Elementary School, and Hiteon Elementary School have lower rates. The school’s free/reduced-price lunch rate is about 21%, far below nearby schools (roughly 50%–77%), and reported per-student spending is $5,050, much lower than the $19,654–$29,397 reported nearby. Subgroup rankings are also strong; Hispanic students have ranked in the 94th–95th percentile with 5 stars for three straight years. Overall, Arco Iris Spanish Immersion School is an above-average school with particular strengths in math, science, and serving student subgroups, but with uneven grade-level results and a recent ranking cooldown.

Arco has been a great place for my kids, they are happy and getting a great education. The community has dealt with challenges over the years, but has always come through. Close Quote

My child has been a student for a few years and I plan to have their sibling join them. The school has challenges related to space that are common with a charter school, but the benefits out way the concerns. The staff and teachers are amazing and students not only are strong in Spanish, but Math and English as well. They are also taught to care about one another. This year the school gained an incomparable principal who I have no doubt will push the school forward. The PTO is the most dedicated you will ever see and the Board is present and available as needed. I highly recommend and was not surprised when I saw they were the number 1 charter in Oregon.

This used to be a great school, but at this point is absolutely pretending to be a school. It is in the process of imploding since they fired the principal mid-year, and both the 1st and 5th grade teachers left mid-year. The 5th grade will be on its 3rd teacher this year, once they find a teacher and stop having subs. They used to pride themselves on being one year ahead in math, but at this point it will be surprising if the test scores are even at grade level in certain grades. The student-teacher ratio may be 17 to 1, but the class size is closer to 28-32. Multiple parents have pulled their children and gone to their neighborhood school already. The board is trying, but they are all volunteer and it seems that at this point it is playing school and keeping as much information from the parents for as long as possible so that they don't all leave at once.
