Summary:
Zip code 97005 contains four schools — two classified as elementary and two as high schools, though middle grades are actually served at two of them — all within Beaverton School District 48J, which ranks 19th of 141 Oregon districts (87th percentile, 4 stars) and enrolls roughly 2,960 students across these campuses. Beaverton High School is the largest with 1,436 students, followed by Arts and Communication Magnet Academy (ACMA) with 690 students in grades 6–12, Barnes Elementary School with 451 in PK–5, and Hope Chinese Charter School with 383 in K–8. So while the area summary lists no standalone middle school, middle-grade students are served at ACMA and Hope.
Hope Chinese Charter School is the academic standout: 12th of 709 elementary schools, 98th percentile, 5 stars, with all-grades proficiency of 84.5% in ELA, 88.7% in math, and 81.9% in science, plus chronic absenteeism of only 6.5% against the district's 28.7%. Its 5th-grade ELA is at least 95%, and its free/reduced lunch figure is not reported here, so it should not be read as zero. ACMA is also impressive: 25th of 271 high schools, 91st percentile, 5 stars, a 97.6% graduation rate, and 11th-grade proficiency of 70.2% in ELA, 40% in math, and 54.3% in science — beating Beaverton High by 24.4 points in ELA, 17.1 in math, and 25.6 in science.
Beaverton High School ranks 131st of 271 (52nd percentile, 3 stars) with an 84.0% graduation rate, 45.6% chronic absenteeism, and all-grades math of just 22.9%. Barnes Elementary School ranks 593rd of 709 (16th percentile, 1 star), with ELA 27.3%, math 18.5%, science 9.8%, and 40.0% absenteeism. Notably, Barnes has the highest per-student spending ($21,935) and the lowest student–teacher ratio (13.9), while Hope reports the lowest spending ($5,050) — but differing funding structures, grade spans, and Hope's unreported lunch data mean this should be interpreted cautiously. Across all four schools, absenteeism tracks closely with achievement.
