Original Research by School Decision on Hazeldale Elementary School
Hazeldale Elementary School serves students from prekindergarten through fifth grade in Aloha, an unincorporated community in Washington County that sits between Beaverton and Hillsboro west of Portland. Aloha is a residential, car-oriented place with no downtown or municipal government; its commercial life runs along strip-mall corridors like TV Highway and Farmington Road, where the volunteer-staffed Aloha Community Library occupies a former grocery space. The school is part of the Beaverton School District, which opened a new middle school in 2021 that reshaped attendance boundaries across the area.
Hazeldale Elementary is a regular public school, not a charter or magnet. Its enrollment is moderate for a grade band that reaches kindergarten through fifth grade. The student body is diverse: a substantial share of students identify as white, a meaningful portion as Hispanic, and smaller shares as Asian, two or more races, Black, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. A large majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a common measure of household need. Data on students with disabilities and English learners was not reported, so a parent may want to ask the school directly about the support structures available for those populations.
State assessment results for the 2024-2025 school year provide the clearest picture of academic performance. In English language arts, the share of students meeting proficiency was below the midpoint among tested grades, with a combined rate across all grades that was modest. In math, the combined proficiency rate was lower still. In science, proficiency was substantially lower, based on results from the one grade tested. The school’s overall proficiency index, averaging results across tested subjects and grades, placed it above the midpoint among the eight districts in Washington County, reflecting a range that runs from a lower floor to a higher ceiling. Only one year of data was available for trend comparison, so it is not possible to assess whether performance is improving, declining, or stable.
Because the school serves only elementary grades, there is no graduation rate to report. Information on chronic absenteeism was also missing from the available data. Course access and staffing details were not provided, so a parent with questions about enrichment offerings, class sizes, or specialist availability would need to follow up with the school directly.
Housing in the area around Hazeldale carries values above the state average but below the national benchmark. Home prices have dipped slightly year over year, and rents have also seen a small decline, a pattern that may reflect broader market conditions in the Portland metro region. The estimated mortgage payment for a median-priced home is steep, and rents are high relative to national norms, making affordability a challenge for many households.
For a family considering Hazeldale, the picture is mixed. The school serves a high-need population and its test results in math and science show signs of difficulty, especially in comparison to its own English language arts performance. The overall proficiency index is above the midpoint among Washington County districts, but that comparison includes districts with varying demographics and resource levels. A parent would want to learn more about how the school supports foundational skills in math and early science, and whether targeted interventions are in place for students who are behind grade level. The absence of reported data on special populations and chronic absenteeism makes it hard to fully assess the school’s capacity to address individual student needs.
