Summary:
ZIP code 97223 is home to four elementary schools — three in the Tigard-Tualatin School District 23J and one in the Beaverton School District 48J — serving roughly PK through 5th grade with a combined enrollment of 1,724 students. Sizes range from 281 students at Montclair Elementary School to 566 at Metzger Elementary School, so families can choose between a smaller and a larger campus. All four rank in the top half of Oregon elementary schools, and both districts are among the state's strongest, placing 24th and 19th out of 141.
Montclair Elementary School and Mary Woodward Elementary School form a clear top tier. Montclair ranks 76th of 709 schools (89th percentile) with 4 stars, and posts the group's highest proficiency in English language arts (66.1%), math (58.3%), and science (54.3%), along with the lowest chronic absenteeism at 13.9%. Mary Woodward ranks 120th (83rd percentile) with 4 stars, with ELA at 63.2%, math at 50.9%, and science at 47.2%, and chronic absenteeism of 16.9%. Both schools have stayed strong across three years of rankings and beat their district and state averages in every subject. Mary Woodward spends the least per student ($19,654) of the four while still finishing second overall.
Metzger Elementary School is the largest and most improved school, climbing from 300th to 199th (72nd percentile) over three years. Its ELA (55.0%) and math (47.4%) scores beat district and state averages, but science is a weak spot at 29.3%, below both. Its chronic absenteeism of 31.4% is the highest of the four, though still better than the state average. Charles F Tigard Elementary School ranks 339th (52nd percentile), with ELA at 45.0%, math at 32.9%, and science at 35.5%; its results swing widely by grade, from 5th-grade ELA at 58.7% down to 4th-grade ELA at 33.3% and 4th-grade math at 27.2%. Notably, spending and class size do not track neatly with results — the highest-spending school leads, but the lowest-spending school is second.
