Best Middle Schools in Zip Code 97006

ZIP code 97006 in Beaverton, Oregon is served by two public middle schools — Five Oaks Middle School and Meadow Park Middle School — both part of Beaverton School District 48J and together enrolling about 1,478 students in grades 6–8.

The two schools separate cleanly, and Five Oaks Middle School is the stronger of the pair in every subject and at every grade level. Its students meet standard at 41.3% in English language arts and 29.5% in math, compared with 26.1% and 18.8% at Meadow Park Middle School — roughly 1.6 times the rate in both core subjects. Statewide, Five Oaks ranks near the middle (46th percentile, 2 stars), while Meadow Park ranks in the bottom fifth (16th percentile, 1 star). Five Oaks sits close to the state average in ELA and math but below its district's averages of 53.4% and 43.7%; Meadow Park trails the state by 14–18 points. Science is the weakest subject at both, at 18% and 16% against 30.6% statewide.

Attendance and resources point the same direction. Chronic absenteeism is 31.2% at Five Oaks — better than the state's 33.5% — and 33.9% at Meadow Park. Meadow Park spends more per student ($20,429 vs. $18,691) and has smaller classes (15.2 vs. 18.3 students per teacher), yet posts lower achievement, largely because its smaller enrollment produces both figures. Trends also diverge: Five Oaks has drifted slowly upward over three years, while Meadow Park slipped from the 23rd to the 16th percentile in the most recent year. Families should note that this high-performing district, ranked in the 87th percentile, contains two schools performing well below that level — and that a two-school sample describes these campuses rather than predicting any individual child's experience.
