Summary
Echo Shaw Elementary School is a PK–6 school in Cornelius, Oregon, serving 389 students as part of Forest Grove School District 15, and it ranks 647th of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2025–2026 (9th percentile, 0 stars).
Academically, the school's results are low: across all grades, 20.4% of students met state standards in English language arts, 18.1% in math, and 17.3% in science — all below district and state averages. Economic need is high, with 82.26% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. At the same time, resources look relatively favorable: per-student spending is $21,767, and the student–teacher ratio is 14.3, better than most nearby same-district schools. Chronic absenteeism is 31.6%, below the district (35.6%) and state (33.5%) rates, making attendance a relative strength.
Compared with nearby schools in the same district, the school is near the bottom. Its all-grade ELA and math scores are higher than only Cornelius Elementary School (17.8% ELA, 16.7% math), while Dilley Elementary School (55.9% ELA, 61.0% math), Harvey Clarke Elementary School (39.0%, 33.7%), Joseph Gale Elementary School, and Fern Hill Elementary School all outperform it in at least one subject. Notably, Dilley and Harvey Clarke serve similarly high-poverty populations with similar or less favorable spending and class sizes, yet achieve much higher proficiency, so poverty and resources alone do not explain the gap. Results have also declined over time, from the 45th percentile in 2018–2019 to the 9th percentile in 2025–2026. Bright spots include 5th grade ELA (36% proficient, above the district) and 3rd grade math (25%), and subgroup rankings are higher than the overall rank for English language learners, low-income, and migrant students. The biggest concerns are 4th grade ELA (10.4% proficient), 5th grade math (14%), science (17.3%), and special education and female student results at the 6th percentile.
