Summary:
ZIP code 97223 is home to six schools — four elementary, one middle, and one alternative K-12 — serving about 2,586 students, with no traditional high school in the area. Five of the schools belong to Tigard-Tualatin School District 23J, rated 24th of 141 Oregon districts, and one, Montclair Elementary School, belongs to the higher-rated Beaverton School District 48J.
Montclair Elementary School leads the ZIP in every tested subject — 66.1% in ELA, 58.3% in math, and 54.3% in science — while also posting the lowest chronic absenteeism at 13.9% and a 4-star, 89th-percentile rank. It also has the highest known free/reduced-lunch rate among elementary schools (69.4%) and the highest elementary per-student spending ($21,276). Mary Woodward Elementary School is the strongest Tigard-Tualatin elementary, with 63.2% ELA, 50.9% math, 47.2% science, 16.9% absenteeism, and three straight years at the 83rd–85th percentile with 4 stars. Metzger Elementary School is the most improved, climbing from the 58th to the 72nd percentile over three years and earning 4 stars.
Among the remaining schools, Charles F Tigard Elementary School performs far below Mary Woodward Elementary School despite nearly identical poverty and spending figures, and its results vary sharply by grade level. Thomas R Fowler Middle School is the largest school, at 744 students, with the highest student-teacher ratio of 19.6. Tigard-Tualatin Virtual Academy shows an extreme split: 55.0% ELA but just 5.9% math, alongside 54.1% chronic absenteeism and a 60.7% graduation rate; its free/reduced-lunch rate is not reported. Chronic absenteeism is below the state rate of 33.5% at all five non-virtual schools, and area test scores generally exceed state averages.
