Summary:

ZIP code 97225 contains 7 public schools — 5 elementary and 2 middle schools, with no high schools — serving 3,047 students across two districts: Beaverton School District 48J (6 schools, 2,377 students) and Portland School District 1J (1 school, 670 students). Both districts rank well statewide (Portland 1J 12th of 141; Beaverton 48J 19th of 141), but the individual schools here range from a 5-star, 95th-percentile middle school to a 1-star, 16th-percentile elementary school. ZIP-wide proficiency averages (ELA 54.8%, math 44.9%, science 36.4%) top state averages (43.8%, 32.9%, 30.6%).

The standouts are West Sylvan Middle School (95th percentile, 5 stars; 73.8% ELA, 62.9% math, 45.6% science), Ridgewood Elementary School (93rd percentile, 5 stars; 72.0% ELA, 63.9% math, top-in-ZIP 64.8% science), and West Tualatin View Elementary School (89th percentile, 4 stars; lowest chronic absenteeism at 12.3%). Raleigh Park Elementary School is improving (62% to 64% to 70% percentile, 4 stars), while Cedar Park Middle School is stable but mid-range (65th percentile, 3 stars). Raleigh Hills Elementary School has declined from the 72nd to the 53rd percentile, and William Walker Elementary School is lowest (16th percentile, 1 star; 29.6% ELA, 20.9% math, 12.8% science).

Comparing schools shows that spending and class size alone don't explain outcomes: William Walker spends more per student ($24,659 vs. $23,616) and has smaller classes (12.6 vs. 15.6) than Ridgewood, yet scores far lower. High poverty is a risk factor but not destiny — Ridgewood performs at the top with a 68.44% free/reduced lunch rate. Chronic absenteeism tracks with performance, and science is a weak spot at Raleigh Hills (16.7%), William Walker (12.8%), and Cedar Park (33.2%).
