A major increase, minor dips highlight Beaverton, Tigard-Tualatin, Sherwood student test scores
Beaverton, Tigard, Tualatin and Sherwood schools all saw slight dips and some increases in math, science and English test scores, with the Sherwood School District pulling significantly ahead when it comes to average science proficiency scores. That’s according to the Oregon Department of Education, which released results of Oregon Statewide Assessments in late September, showing statewide proficiency averages increase in 2025-26 from the prior year. Those scores include a statewide proficiency increase of 1.4 percentage points in math, 0.8 percentage points in English language arts, and 0.6 percentage points in science, the results marking the second consecutive year of statewide increases in proficiency in all three subject areas, according to state education officials. “These results give us reason to be encouraged, but also reinforce how much more there is to accomplish,” Oregon Department of Education Director Charlene Williams said.
