Summary:
ZIP code 97062 (Tualatin, Oregon) contains seven schools — four elementary schools, one middle school, and two high schools — with a combined enrollment of about 4,188 students. Six of them belong to Tigard-Tualatin School District 23J, ranked 24th of 141 districts statewide (83rd percentile, 4 stars). The seventh, Riverside High School, belongs to West Linn-Wilsonville School District 3J, the 7th-ranked district in Oregon (95th percentile, 5 stars).
The academic standout is Multi-sensory Instruction Teaching Children Hands-On (MITCH), which leads the ZIP in all three subjects — ELA 57.0%, math 67.0%, science 52.0% — against state figures of 43.8%, 32.9%, and 30.6%, and has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 12.9%. Its reported $4,843 per-student spending reflects a different funding structure and isn't comparable to other schools. Edward Byrom Elementary School is the most consistently strong conventional school, the only one with 4 stars in all three ranking years, posting ELA 55.0% and math 48.4%. Riverside High School has the best science results (48.9%) along with the smallest enrollment (160), lowest student-teacher ratio (10.4), and highest spending ($35,674). Tualatin High School has the toughest profile: 50.0% chronic absenteeism and the lowest math proficiency in the file (18.5%), though its 90.2% graduation rate beats the state.
The most informative comparison pairs Edward Byrom Elementary School and Tualatin Elementary School — nearly identical free/reduced-lunch rates and funding (a $137 per-student difference), yet a 10.6-point ELA gap, a 12.2-point math gap, and absenteeism of 16.9% versus 28.5%. Absenteeism climbs with school level throughout the ZIP: elementaries (12.9–28.5%), Hazelbrook Middle School (32.9%), and the high schools (38.4–50.0%). Science is the systemic weak spot, with five of seven schools at or below the state figure; only MITCH and Riverside beat it clearly. Five of the seven schools improved their statewide percentile since 2023-24.
