Portland Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arkansas elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 263-340 out of 487-497 schools. The school's performance on standardized tests is generally below the state and district averages across subjects and grade levels, with particularly low proficiency rates in science.
