• Best private high schools in Oregon (ktvz.com) — Oregon's top-rated private high schools are ranked in a new list, and several Beaverton campuses earn strong marks for academics, class sizes, and overall quality. Local families considering private education can compare Beaverton schools with leading options in Portland, Tigard, Salem, and beyond, using enrollment, student–teacher ratios, and Niche grades to guide decisions about their teens' futures.
• Washington County jurisdictions less willing to support protections for immigrant crime victims, says report (opb.org) — Beaverton police approved just five of 19 U visa certification requests in 2025, contributing to Washington County's far-below-average approval rate for immigrant crime victims seeking protection. Advocates warn this could discourage local victims from reporting crimes and cooperating with investigations. They're urging Beaverton and neighboring agencies to improve training and review their policies.
• How revelations like $450M tax breaks created a powerful opposition movement against Oregon data centers (streetroots.org) — A growing coalition is challenging massive tax breaks for Hillsboro-area data centers, arguing they drain money from the State School Fund and deepen Beaverton School District's budget crisis. A Beaverton School Board member is a lead plaintiff in a lawsuit seeking to claw back millions, as local schools cut staff, close an elementary, and burn reserves to cover shortfalls.
