Summary:
The 97007 zip code in Oregon is home to a single middle school, Mountain View Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Beaverton School District 48J. While the district is ranked 17 out of 140 in Oregon and has a 4-star rating, Mountain View Middle School has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom half of Oregon middle schools over the past three years and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Mountain View Middle School faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% and significantly below-average student test scores across all grade levels and subjects compared to the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 25% of 6th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 50.7% for the district and 41.7% for the state. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (63.67%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($16,900 for the 2022-2023 school year) and a student-teacher ratio of 16.5, which is slightly higher than the national average, Mountain View Middle School's performance suggests that the school may require targeted interventions and support to address the underlying challenges facing the school community and improve student outcomes.
