Summary

Sato Elementary School is a K–5 school in Beaverton School District 48J with 863 students, located at 7775 NW Kaiser Rd in the 97229 corridor northwest of Portland, and it currently ranks 51st of 709 Oregon elementary schools.

Sato is a consistently high performer: 93rd percentile, 5 stars, and top 5% in the state in every reported year since 2018–19, which is above its district’s 87th-percentile profile. Compared with nearby Findley Elementary, Bonny Slope Elementary School, and Bethany Elementary School, the school spends the least per student ($16,568) and has a higher student–teacher ratio (18.6), yet its ELA and math proficiency (69.3 and 67.8) remain upper-middle in an exceptionally strong suburban cluster and well above district and state averages. Its statewide ranking has eased slightly, from the 96th percentile in 2021–22 through 2023–24 to 93rd in each of the last two years—still 5-star, but worth monitoring.

Science is the school’s clear outlier: at 44.5% proficient, it is the lowest result in the Beaverton cluster and behind peer averages, while 5th-grade math dips to 60.6. Attendance is a strength—16.8% chronic absenteeism versus 28.7% district and 33.5% state—though Findley Elementary (9.2%) and Terra Linda Elementary School (12.8%) are better locally. Among subgroups, English language learners rank 93rd–95th percentile, special education 90th, and low-income students 99th in 2023–24 and 92nd in 2024–25; gifted and talented is a relative soft spot at 43rd percentile (2 stars). Note that the 2024–25 free/reduced-lunch rate jumped to 50.98%, likely a reporting or program change, so those figures should be compared cautiously.

What people are saying

by a parent
Sunday, June 6, 2021

Sato Elementary failed to be inclusive or support my child. He was asked to attend this school as it had an EGC program that was intended to support him socially, emotionally and behaviorally. His teacher did a good Job with him, but the principal set a negative tone at the school. She was not supportive of the IA’s that worked with the EGC students, nor the parents. In our first experience We went 5 months without curriculum available for the children and not a single book or math manipulative for the children to learn with. They finally shut down the k-2 program for the remainder of the year and we went to a different school. However, we were asked to return the following school year with an amazing teacher. Unfortunately, the principle seemed annoyed by my continued offer of support, and was rude to me and others. In fact, it was so bad that she told me my son couldn’t walk through the building, he was asked to walk around. My son Hated coming to school. It was awful. I can not speak to the general Ed programs, as we did not have that experience, but the Sato EGC failed our child. Close Quote
