Summary

Durham Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 471 students in Tigard, Oregon, part of the Tigard-Tualatin School District 23J. It ranks 303rd of 709 Oregon schools in 2025–2026 — the 57th percentile, 3 stars — placing it mid-pack statewide but below its own district, which ranks 24th of 141 districts. Durham has been stronger historically: it sat at the 85th percentile with 4 stars in 2018–2019, and its rank has slipped steadily since.

Math is Durham's clearest academic strength. All-grade math proficiency is 41.9%, above the district's 37.3% and the state's 32.9%, and grades 3, 4, and 5 all score above the state. English language arts is the soft spot: at 44.4% it edges above the state (43.8%) but trails the district (48.3%), and 3rd grade ELA (40.7%) is below both. Science, at 31.0%, sits near the state average and just below the district. Chronic absenteeism is a genuine bright spot — 21.9%, roughly 12 percentage points below district and state, and down from 34.9% in 2022–2023, achieved while the share of low-income students rose to 61.15%.

Among same-district peers, Durham's math is second only to Multi-sensory Instruction Teaching Children Hands-On (MITCH), ahead of James Templeton Elementary School, Bridgeport Elementary School, Tualatin Elementary School, Alberta Rider Elementary School, and Charles F Tigard Elementary School, and its absentee rate beats most of them. Its student-teacher ratio (16.5) and per-student spending ($21,776) are more favorable than most peers. By contrast, neighboring Lake Oswego School District 7J schools — Westridge Elementary School, Oak Creek Elementary School, Lake Grove Elementary School, and River Grove Elementary School — rank at the 92nd to 100th percentile with far lower low-income enrollment, and Westridge's 3rd grade math is at least 95% proficient. One caution for parents: school effectiveness for low-income students (26th percentile), special education students (29th), and gifted and talented students (26th) slipped in the most recent data.
