Summary:
Zip code 97140 covers the Sherwood area, where five public elementary schools serve local families: Ridges Elementary School, Hawks View Elementary School, Middleton Elementary School, Archer Glen Elementary School, and Sherwood Charter School. Four are PK/K–5 schools, while Sherwood Charter is a K–8 school, so its "all grades" figures include middle-school results and are not perfectly comparable. Together they enroll 2,017 students. The four district schools belong to Sherwood School District 88J, which ranks 5th of 141 Oregon districts, at the 96th percentile with 5 stars, and all five schools beat the state in all-grades ELA, math, and science.
Ridges Elementary School is the clear academic benchmark, with ELA 68.0%, math 68.6%, and science 61.5%, the best rank in this set (39th of 709, 94th percentile, 5 stars), and the lowest chronic absenteeism at 12.9% — even though it has the largest enrollment (635) and the highest student-teacher ratio (20.3). Archer Glen Elementary School is the early-grade standout: its 3rd graders reach 83% in both ELA and math, the highest grade-level scores reported here, alongside all-grades ELA 67.5%, math 65.7%, and science 58.1%, and a 5-star, 92nd-percentile rank.
Middleton Elementary School has the lowest poverty rate (12.66% free/reduced lunch), the smallest classes (16.3 student-teacher ratio), and the highest per-pupil spending ($19,573); its ELA (66.8%) and math (61.9%) are strong, but science at 42.4% trails the district's 47.7%. Hawks View Elementary School serves the highest-poverty population (50.11%) and has the highest absenteeism (19.3%), yet still exceeds the state in all three subjects. Sherwood Charter School posts 62.7% ELA, 50.0% math, and 55.6% science, with a weak 7th-grade math result of 27.8%; its free/reduced-lunch value is unknown, not zero. Notably, every school's chronic absenteeism is below the district's 22.2% and the state's 33.5%.
