Summary:
The 97062 zip code area is home to two high schools: Tualatin High School and Riverside High School. While Tualatin High School has a significantly larger student population of 1,756, Riverside High School boasts a more intimate learning environment with a student-teacher ratio of 9.4, compared to Tualatin's 19.5.
Riverside High School's association with the highly-ranked West Linn-Wilsonville School District, which is ranked 6th out of 140 districts in Oregon, suggests it may provide a higher-quality educational experience. However, Tualatin High School, which is part of the Tigard-Tualatin School District (ranked 25th), has outperformed the district and state averages in 11th-grade OSAS/English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency.
Both schools face similar challenges, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, they serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates of 38.15% at Tualatin High School and 33.04% at Riverside High School. These factors may have implications for resource allocation and support services within the schools.
