Summary

Ridges Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Sherwood, Oregon, serving 635 students in Sherwood School District 88J, about a mile from three other Sherwood elementaries and a K–8 charter, with a second ring of Tualatin and Hillsboro schools a few miles away. Its district is one of Oregon's strongest, ranking 5th of 141 statewide, and Ridges is the standout within it — 5 stars and a top-decile state rank every year in the data shown, with a 2025–26 rank of 39th of 709 schools (94th percentile) and no year below the 91st percentile.

Ridges posts the highest proficiency of any nearby school in all three subjects: 68% in English language arts, 69% in math, and 62% in science — roughly 24, 36, and 31 points above the state, and ahead of its own district in every subject. Its closest peer, Middleton Elementary School a mile away, is nearly even in ELA but trails by about 7 points in math and 19 in science. Where Archer Glen Elementary School starts strong in 3rd grade and dips in 4th and 5th, Ridges stays above the district average at every grade and subject, including 5th-grade ELA at 74.6% and 4th-grade math at 70%. Low-income students rank in the 94th percentile statewide and special-education students in the 92nd, though about 21% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Chronic absenteeism is 12.9%, well under the district's 22.2% and the state's 33.5%, and down from 20.8% two years earlier. Ridges achieves this with the largest enrollment and lowest per-student spending ($16,259) among its traditional public peers, plus the highest student–teacher ratio (20.3) — notable next to schools like Tualatin Elementary School, which spends far more per student with much lower proficiency. The main things to watch: the free/reduced-lunch share has climbed quickly (about 12.6% to 21.4% in three years) while class sizes have grown, so sustaining these results may depend on continued staffing support.

Open Quote The staff is wonderful, every teacher is energetic and positive. My children adore this school. The energy is happy and the Principal is on a first name basis with every student. I admire how creative he has been with all the budget cuts. The school has high academic expectation for the students and will support them every step of the way. Did I mention, the school itself is gorgeous!? Close Quote
