Summary:
ZIP code 97003 is home to two public schools, both part of Beaverton School District 48J: Beaver Acres Elementary School, serving grades PK–5 with 778 students, and Community School, serving grades 9–12 with 149 students. There are no middle schools or alternative schools reported in this ZIP. Together they enroll 927 students. The district is strong overall — 19th of 141 districts, 87th percentile, 4 stars — but both schools in this ZIP rank far below that district profile, a reminder that district averages can hide big differences between individual schools.
Community School faces the most serious challenges. In 2025–26 it ranks 271st of 271 schools, at the 0th percentile with 0 stars, after falling from 242nd of 268 (10th percentile) in 2023–24. Chronic absenteeism is 80%, compared with 28.7% districtwide and 33.5% statewide. Its graduation rate is 64.2%, versus 88.9% in the district and 83.0% in the state — roughly one in three students did not graduate in the reported cohort. Test scores are ELA 12.5%, math under 5%, and science 5%. Notably, it spends $42,043 per student with a student-teacher ratio of 9.6, so high spending and small classes have not translated into high outcomes.
Beaver Acres Elementary School is the stronger of the two, though still below par. It ranks 520th of 709 (27th percentile, 1 star), improving from the 14th percentile in 2023–24 to 27th now. Chronic absenteeism is 31.5%, slightly better than the state. Test scores are ELA 35.8%, math 26.5%, and science 14.4%. Its bright spot is 4th grade ELA at 44.5%, above the state's 43.5%, while 5th grade math (13.9%) and science (14.4%) are weak. Free/reduced lunch rates are similar at both schools (52.31% and 50.34%), suggesting that measure alone does not explain the gap in results.
