Summary

Charles F Tigard Elementary School is a K–5 school in Tigard, Oregon, serving 460 students as part of the Tigard-Tualatin School District 23J, a relatively high-performing district that ranks 24th of 141 Oregon districts (83rd percentile). The school itself sits lower: in 2025–26 it ranked 339th of 709 schools, the 52nd percentile with 3 stars, a modest rebound from the 47th percentile in 2024–25. Over the longer term, the school has slipped from the 74th–80th percentile range in 2018–19 and 2021–22. About 57.39% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, up from 49.01% the year before.

Math is the clearest academic weakness. All-grade math proficiency is 32.9%, below the district's 37.3% and level with the state's 32.9% — the lowest among nearby same-district schools such as Alberta Rider Elementary School, Durham Elementary School, Deer Creek Elementary School, James Templeton Elementary School, Metzger Elementary School, and Mary Woodward Elementary School. ELA is 45.0%, above the state but below the district, while science (35.5%) is a relative bright spot, ahead of both. Results vary sharply by grade: 4th grade is the weak point, with ELA at 33.3% and math at 27.2% (16.8 and 19.6 points below the district). By contrast, 5th grade ELA is 58.7%, above district and state. Notably, Mary Woodward, with a similar free-lunch rate (57.55%) and student-teacher ratio, ranks at the 83rd percentile.

Attendance is a strength — chronic absenteeism was 23.1% in 2024–25, well below the district's 33.6% and the state's 33.5%. Per-student spending was $20,046, higher than Mary Woodward, Metzger, and Deer Creek, but the student-teacher ratio of 17.7 is among the highest in the peer group. The school's effectiveness rankings for student groups are uneven: its results for low-income students have stayed in the bottom third of Oregon schools, and its ranking for Hispanic students fell from the 61st percentile in 2023–24 to the 35th–37th range. These are school-effectiveness measures rather than statements about students, but they mark areas worth asking about during a visit.
