Summary

Mill Park Elementary School is a public elementary school in Portland, Oregon, serving 449 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the David Douglas School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Oregon school districts.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $23,340, Mill Park Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 24.4% of 3rd graders, 18.9% of 4th graders, and 43.9% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 40.3%, 42.1%, and 46.7% at the state level, respectively. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.3% to 40.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby Bridger Creative Science School, a public charter school in the Portland School District, significantly outperforms Mill Park Elementary and the David Douglas School District as a whole in academic metrics, despite serving a more diverse student population. Other nearby David Douglas schools, such as West Powellhurst Elementary and Cherry Park Elementary, also perform poorly compared to state averages but generally outperform Mill Park Elementary.
