Summary

North Gresham Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 560 students in grades K-5 in the Gresham-Barlow School District in Gresham, Oregon. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with a current 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Gresham Elementary faces significant challenges in academic performance, with only 14.7% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 26.9% for the district and 40.3% for the state. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.3% to 45.0% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average. These academic and attendance issues are likely exacerbated by the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 67.14% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When comparing North Gresham Elementary to other nearby schools, it becomes clear that the school is one of the lowest-performing in the area. Schools like Gresham Arthur Academy and Lewis and Clark Montessori Charter School significantly outperform North Gresham on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations. Addressing the broader issues of family and community support, as well as implementing more targeted and differentiated instructional strategies, may be crucial for improving student performance at North Gresham Elementary.
