Summary:
The 97223 zip code area in Oregon is home to 4 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools include Metzger Elementary School, Charles F Tigard Elementary School, Mary Woodward Elementary School, and Montclair Elementary School.
Among these schools, Mary Woodward Elementary and Montclair Elementary stand out as high-performing, with statewide rankings between 107-173 and 78-106, respectively, and 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. These schools consistently achieve significantly higher test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Charles F Tigard Elementary and Metzger Elementary lag behind in many test score metrics, particularly in 3rd grade ELA and Math, suggesting potential achievement gaps that may need to be addressed.
Across all 4 schools, the chronic absenteeism rate is quite high, at 34.3% for the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the schools vary significantly in their free/reduced lunch rates, from 26.95% at Montclair Elementary to 53.76% at Metzger Elementary. This suggests that socioeconomic factors may be influencing academic performance, as the schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates tend to have lower test scores. It's also worth noting that Montclair Elementary, which is part of the Beaverton School District, outperforms the other schools, which are in the Tigard-Tualatin School District, potentially due to differences in district-level resources, policies, or other factors.
