Summary

Winterhaven School is a highly-ranked public elementary school in Portland, Oregon, serving 315 students from kindergarten through 8th grade. It is part of the Portland School District 1J, which is ranked 13th out of 140 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating.

Winterhaven School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Oregon, with a statewide ranking between 2nd and 5th place over the past several years. The school's students significantly outperform the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grade levels. Winterhaven also excels in serving various student subgroups, ranking 1st or 2nd in the state for female students, male students, white students, special education students, low socioeconomic status students, and gifted and talented students.

While Winterhaven School's academic performance is exceptional, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.1% to 38.1% over the past few years. This is an area the school may need to address. The school's high per-student spending of $20,321 to $28,563 over the past two years, as well as its relatively low student-teacher ratio between 18.5 and 19.3, may be contributing factors to its outstanding academic achievements. Winterhaven significantly outperforms nearby schools in the Portland School District 1J, including Richmond Elementary, Sunnyside Environmental School, Creston Elementary, and Buckman Elementary.

Lots of bullying, my child has been pretty stressed out at this school. It is great they push for success, but it would be nice to have some of the pressure taken off the students. Close Quote
