Summary
Edward Byrom Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Tualatin, Oregon—a suburban community south of Portland—serving 367 students as part of Tigard-Tualatin School District 23J, a district that ranks 24th of 141 Oregon districts (83rd percentile, 4 stars).
Byrom is a solid, above-average neighborhood school. In 2025–2026, it ranked 181st of 709 Oregon elementary schools—74th percentile, 4 stars—and its OSAS proficiency rates beat district and state averages in ELA (55.0%), math (48.4%), and science (32.8%). Among traditional same-district peers, it has the highest ELA and math proficiency, though MITCH scores much higher (57.0% ELA, 67.0% math, 52.0% science). Science is a relative weakness: Deer Creek Elementary School, James Templeton Elementary School, and Bridgeport Elementary School post higher science proficiency, and Byrom is only slightly above the state average. Math is strong in 3rd grade (56.9%) but falls to 39.7% by 5th grade.
Attendance is a standout strength. Byrom’s chronic absenteeism was 16.9% in 2024–2025, about half the district’s 33.6% and the state’s 33.5%, and better than Durham Elementary School, Bridgeport Elementary School, James Templeton Elementary School, Deer Creek Elementary School, and Tualatin Elementary School. The school serves a higher-poverty population than some nearby high performers: 61.31% free/reduced-price lunch, versus 12.69% at Stafford Primary School, 45.03% at River Grove Elementary School, and 50.11% at Hawks View Elementary School. Per-student spending is $21,142 and the student-teacher ratio is 16.9, in line with same-district peers.
Subgroup results show room to grow. The school is 4-star overall, but special education students ranked 37th percentile (2 stars) in 2024–2025 and gifted students 40th percentile (2 stars) in 2025–2026, while low-SES students improved to 54th percentile (3 stars). Byrom has drifted from its 2014–2015 peak (92nd percentile, 5 stars) and often ranked 82nd–87th percentile in the late 2010s; it remains solid but its current 74th percentile is worth watching. Compared with regional high performers such as Stafford Primary School, River Grove Elementary School, Hawks View Elementary School, and Sherwood Charter School, Byrom trails in ELA, math, and science—but it serves a much higher-poverty population, so raw score comparisons deserve context.
