Art Rutkin Elementary School

Art Rutkin Elementary sits in the heart of the Tigard-Tualatin district, one of the more quietly impressive school systems in the Portland metro area, and it's among the very best the region has to offer. Families drawn to strong academics without the big-city price tag of Portland proper tend to find Washington County a great fit — suburban, well-connected, and with a genuine sense of community. With math and English scores both ranking near the top of the state, Rutkin is the kind of school that ambitious families stumble upon and feel lucky to be zoned for.
