Summary

Metzger Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 10350 SW Lincoln St in Tigard, Oregon, serving 566 students in the Tigard-Tualatin School District 23J. In 2025-2026 it ranked 199th of 709 Oregon elementary schools — 72nd percentile, 4 stars — its best standing in at least a decade, up roughly 47 percentile points from the 25th percentile and 1 star it held in 2018-2019.

Proficiency beats both district and state: 55.0% in English language arts and 47.4% in math, versus district marks of 48.3/37.3 and state marks of 43.8/32.9. That ranks Metzger second among the four nearby Tigard-Tualatin elementaries, well ahead of James Templeton Elementary School (46.2/40.3) and Charles F Tigard Elementary School (45.0/32.9). Science is the clear outlier at 29.3%, below the district (31.5%) and state (30.6%); because Oregon tests science only in grade 5, that is a fifth-grade figure, and Metzger trails Mary Woodward Elementary School by 17.9 points there — its largest gap to a same-district neighbor in any subject. Chronic absenteeism is 31.4%, better than the district (33.6%) and state (33.5%) and down from 41.8% in 2022-2023, but still the second-highest rate among the 11 comparison schools, far above Mary Woodward (16.9%), Montclair Elementary School (13.9%), and Oak Creek Elementary School (10.9%). Metzger spends $19,759 per student, second-lowest among comparable schools, with the group's highest student-teacher ratio (16.1:1).

Subgroup results show the turnaround is broad, not isolated: English language learners moved from the 5th to the 89th percentile statewide, low-income students from 27th to 68th, and special education students from 34th to 65th. The school's free/reduced-lunch share rose from 40.93% to 53.76% to 61.31% over three years. Nearby Montclair Elementary School shows what is possible — it serves 69.4% low-income students yet posts 66.1 ELA, 58.3 math, and 54.3 science — suggesting Metzger's remaining gaps reflect practice more than demographics. Its next steps are specific: fifth-grade science, chronic absenteeism roughly 8–10 points above peer norms, and a student-teacher ratio that has risen three years running.
