Summary:
The 48612 zip code area is home to two schools - Beaverton Elementary School and Beaverton Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Beaverton Schools district. While the schools have access to relatively high funding and resources, they face challenges in student performance and engagement.
Beaverton Elementary School stands out for its lack of diversity, with a student population that is 92.31% white. This lack of diversity could contribute to achievement gaps observed in the school's test scores, which are generally below state averages. In contrast, Beaverton Junior-Senior High School struggles with a lower-than-average graduation rate of 76.1% and a concerning dropout rate of 8.9%. Both schools also have significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, which may be a key factor in their academic underperformance.
Despite the high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios at both schools, the data suggests that the challenge lies in how these resources are being utilized to support student success. Addressing attendance issues, promoting inclusivity, and identifying the underlying causes of the lower graduation and higher dropout rates at Beaverton Junior-Senior High School could be crucial steps in improving the overall performance and outcomes for students in this zip code area.
