Cornelius Elementary School

Cornelius Elementary sits in one of Washington County's most working-class, tight-knit communities, where families tend to put down roots and neighbors know each other by name. The school serves a largely Latino student population and reflects the hardworking character of the surrounding area, though families looking for strong academic test performance may want to weigh their options in the broader Forest Grove district. That said, for families already embedded in the Cornelius community — or those drawn to its affordable housing and proximity to the Tualatin Valley's agricultural heritage — this school is a familiar, connected part of daily life.
