Summary:

ZIP code 97123 covers 14 schools in Hillsboro, Oregon — 10 elementary schools (two of them K–8), 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools — all within Hillsboro School District 1J, which ranks 69th out of 141 districts statewide. Total listed enrollment is about 7,499 students, so this is a mid-sized, middle-of-the-pack district overall.

Ladd Acres Elementary School is the clearest standout, posting the ZIP's highest scores in English language arts (61.0%), math (53.2%), and science (54.4%), with 4 stars and a rank percentile in the mid-80s for three straight years — even though 70.73% of its students qualify for free/reduced lunch. Imlay Elementary School is close behind (56.6% ELA, 46.7% math) and has improved from the 69th to the 80th percentile. City View Charter School also performs well with far lower poverty (15.16% free/reduced lunch). Tamarack Elementary School beats state averages in all three subjects despite a 73.29% free/reduced lunch rate, and R A Brown Middle School outperforms South Meadows Middle School in every subject.

At the other end, Hillsboro High School has the most difficult profile: 25.5% ELA, 13.3% math, 45.0% chronic absenteeism, and 1 star. Century High School is stronger (47.6% ELA, 91.0% graduation rate) but still trails badly in math (16.8%) and its rank has slipped. Witch Hazel Elementary School, Minter Bridge Elementary School, and W L Henry Elementary School post the lowest elementary results. ZIP averages are 39.9% in ELA, 30.1% in math, and 26.8% in science, with 28.1% chronic absenteeism. The biggest takeaway: high poverty does not automatically mean low performance here.
