Summary:
The 97078 zip code area is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. These schools, located within the Beaverton School District 48J and Hillsboro School District 1J, exhibit a mix of high-performing and lower-performing results, with significant disparities in test scores, student demographics, and resource allocation.
Rosedale Elementary School stands out as the top performer, with the highest test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels. In contrast, Aloha-Huber Park School and Kinnaman Elementary School struggle with significantly lower proficiency rates, particularly in math and science. Butternut Creek Elementary School also has some strong individual grade-level results, but its overall performance is not as high as Rosedale.
A concerning issue across all 4 schools is the extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, which exceed 34% and are well above the state average. This, coupled with the wide range in spending per student (from $7,221 at Rosedale to $22,046 at Kinnaman), suggests potential inequities in resource allocation that may contribute to the performance gaps observed. Addressing the chronic absenteeism problem and targeting interventions to improve math and science outcomes could be key focus areas for these schools moving forward.
