Summary

Sweetbriar Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Troutdale, Oregon, serving 255 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Reynolds School District 7, which is ranked 133 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sweetbriar Elementary consistently outperforms the Reynolds School District 7 average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across grades 3-5. For example, in 2024-2025, Sweetbriar's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency was 42.6% compared to the district's 25.2%, and its 5th grade Math proficiency was 21.6% compared to the district's 14%. However, the school's performance is still below the state average in most subject areas and grade levels. Interestingly, Sweetbriar's Hispanic students perform very well, ranking in the top 100 schools in Oregon for this subgroup, while the school's Gifted and Talented students perform poorly, ranking in the bottom 30 schools in the state.

One significant challenge for Sweetbriar Elementary is its high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.5% to 50.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 70.98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. While Sweetbriar outperforms the nearby Multnomah Learning Academy, it lags behind the higher-performing Reynolds Arthur Academy, both of which are in the same district. Addressing the issues of chronic absenteeism and supporting the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population will be crucial for Sweetbriar Elementary to improve and provide a better educational experience for its students.
