Summary:
ZIP code 97060 in Troutdale contains six schools serving grades K–12: three elementaries (Troutdale Elementary School, Sweetbriar Elementary School, and Reynolds Arthur Academy), one middle school (Walt Morey Middle School), one high school (Reynolds High School), and one alternative K–12 program (The Creeks). Five belong to Reynolds School District 7, which ranks 131 of 141 Oregon districts; The Creeks is run by Multnomah Education Service District. Enrollment totals 3,769 students, and Reynolds High alone holds about 63% of them.
Reynolds Arthur Academy is the bright spot, ranking in the 66th percentile with 3 stars—the highest in the ZIP. Its English language arts (59.3%) and science (40.0%) results beat state averages, and its chronic absenteeism of just 8.9% is far below the state's 33.5%. Walt Morey Middle School (41st percentile, 2 stars) and Sweetbriar Elementary School (36th percentile, 2 stars) both outperform the district in every tested subject, though each trails the state in math and science.
Two schools face real challenges. Reynolds High School (15th percentile, 1 star) posts 8.7% math and 15.0% science proficiency and 57.2% chronic absenteeism, yet its 79.3% graduation rate tops the district's 74.1%. Troutdale Elementary School (14th percentile, 1 star) has slipped from the 32nd to the 14th percentile, with 26.1% ELA and 19.7% math, though its absenteeism (31.0%) is better than the state's. Notably, higher per-student spending does not track with higher scores here, and math is a weak point almost everywhere. The Creeks, with 74 students and no test or ranking data, should be viewed separately.
