The mission of The Early Learning Hub of Washington County (ELWC) is to bring together the Washington County Early Learning Community partners in order to develop and implement an early learning system that provides opportunities, services, and supports needed to ensure children ages birth through six and their families are prepared for educational and life success. The maps and tables are designed to help the ELWC identify priority populations in order to effectively conduct its work.
For all of the maps below, the shapes show the elementary school catchment areas for schools in Washington County (the data comes from the State of Oregon). The schools included come from the following districts: Banks, Beaverton, Forest Grove, Gaston, Hillsboro, Sherwood, and Tigard-Tualatin.
In addition to listing the school and associated district, each table shows the following:
On each page, there is a short description of where the data used comes from. There is also a notes page with information on the wide range of sources used to bring together data for this project.
A composite score for each school catchment area was developed by combining the “Score Relative to Median” values for the following items:
These are made-up numbers↩
There may be fractions due to how this is calculated; see the notes page↩
