Original Research by School Decision on Aloha-huber Park School

Aloha-Huber Park School is a regular public school in the Beaverton School District, serving students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. The school is located in the Aloha section of Beaverton, a mid-sized city in Washington County that is part of the Portland metropolitan area. Beaverton is a major economic center in the region, home to Nike’s headquarters and a concentration of technology companies in the so-called Silicon Forest. The school’s immediate area is suburban in character, and the city has concentrated transit-oriented development around its MAX Light Rail stations. The district itself has added a new middle school in recent years, redrawing some feeder patterns, a change that families currently in the pipeline may want to be aware of.

The student body is large for a PK-8 school, and it is characterized by considerable racial and economic diversity. A majority of students identify as Hispanic, with the remaining population including White students and smaller shares of Asian, Black, multiracial, and other backgrounds. A substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, making this a school where socioeconomic need is a prominent reality. Data on English learner and special education enrollment was not available for this profile; a parent might wish to ask the school directly about the depth of its support for these groups.

State testing results from the most recent year provide a picture of where student performance stands. In mathematics, proficiency rates across grades three through eight were below typical levels seen in Oregon schools. In English language arts, the rates varied more by grade, but were also generally below statewide averages. Science proficiency, tested in fifth and eighth grades, was low. Compared to other school districts in Washington County, Aloha-Huber Park School’s overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades lands in the bottom quartile. This is a school where leadership and staff face a clear academic challenge. Because the data covers only a single year, no trend can yet be established.

The school does not offer high school grades, so there is no graduation rate to report. It is not a charter school, and whether it receives Title I funding was not specified in the available data. Families considering the school will likely want to know more about what academic interventions and enrichment programs are in place.

For a family, this is a school serving a diverse, economically mixed community where academic performance on state assessments is the central soft spot. The positive arguments would come less from published test results and more from the school’s role as a neighborhood hub in a growing district, its size allowing for a full range of elementary and middle school grades in one building, and the broader community context of Beaverton, which has strong employment anchors and a developing downtown. A parent should expect to find an environment where the school is working on foundational skills, and should engage directly with the principal about what help struggling students receive, what enrichment is available for students who are ready for more, and how the school supports its large population of students from low-income households. The housing market in the school’s zip code is typical for the Portland area, carrying a high price-to-income ratio relative to national norms, which is a factor for any family considering moving into the attendance area.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
