We moved to the area mid-year in 4h grade and then in the spring everything shut down for COVID. I must say that I was most impressed with the teachers and staff there in how well they handled us as a new family, and the pandemic. But the entire district handled it well. The school itself is full of families that are higher income and work at Nike, Intel, etc. The demographics are like 60% Asian and it shows in the number of kids that go to after-school tutoring programs, as that is part of their culture. If you have an overachiever then you kid will be one of MANY here. I would say that JW is as good as any other elementary school in the district, but the schools in the Bethany/Bonny Slope/Rock Creek area are higher income and thus the schools are rated higher for socio-economic reasons. You really cannot go wrong with any Beaverton elementary school. I would be careful of the middle schools though. The Aloha area ones tend to be a bit rougher.
It's a safe school with many loving teachers. The students are pretty respectful and usually do what they're told. In the early years (1-3 grade), there are a lot of fun activities and assignments for kids to learn. There's a medium-sized library that I loved, and everyone is pretty nice. There's a program to help kids learn about geography, and the facilities are good. Some classes can be a bit large, and recess was overrun with kids when I went there, but they have two big fields and a great playground structure. I think the caring teachers are the biggest benefit, and you can make a lot of friends there if you try.
