Summary:

ZIP code 97086 is home to four K–5 elementary schools — Scouters Mountain Elementary, Happy Valley Elementary School, Mount Scott Elementary School, and Spring Mountain Elementary School — all part of North Clackamas School District 12, which ranks 48th out of 141 Oregon districts. Together they enroll 1,825 students, ranging from 350 at Spring Mountain to 568 at Scouters Mountain, with an average of 456 students per school.

Happy Valley Elementary School is the clear standout, with the highest all-grade proficiency in ELA (64.3%), math (57.4%), and science (48.2%), the best rank (85th of 709, 88th percentile, 4 stars), the lowest chronic absenteeism (14.9%), and an improving three-year trend. Scouters Mountain Elementary is also a high performer (81st percentile, 4 stars) but has been slipping since 2023–24. Spring Mountain Elementary School is stable and solid at the 78th percentile. Mount Scott Elementary School trails the group: 55th percentile, 3 stars, the lowest ELA (44.9%) and math (35.8%) proficiency, the highest absenteeism (25.9%), and a steady rank decline.

All four schools exceed district and state averages in ELA, math, and science, and all have lower chronic absenteeism than the district (30.5%) and state (33.5%). Science is the weakest subject overall, averaging 39.65%. Notably, spending and class size do not track with results here: Happy Valley has the lowest per-student spending ($19,256) and highest student-teacher ratio (20.8) yet the best outcomes, while Mount Scott spends $22,814 with the weakest results. Free/reduced lunch rates are nearly identical across all four schools (58.29%–59.38%), suggesting other school-level factors drive the differences.
