Summary:

Elementary schools in Parkrose School District 3 in Portland, Oregon comprise four schools — Russell Elementary, Prescott Elementary School, Shaver Elementary School, and Sacramento Elementary School — serving about 1,098 students in kindergarten through 5th grade (Prescott also serves pre-K), with individual enrollments between 255 and 309.

The district itself is rated low statewide, at the 4th percentile with 0 stars, and every school scores below Oregon averages in every subject. Within the group, Russell Elementary is the clear academic standout, posting the highest all-grade ELA (32.0%), math (29.9%), and science (22.9%) results and the lowest chronic absenteeism (36.2%). However, its statewide rank has slipped from 332 of 710 (53rd percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–2024 to 508 of 709 (28th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–2026. Prescott Elementary School has the lowest ELA (26.2%) and highest absenteeism (40.6%). Shaver Elementary School has the lowest math (14.7%) and received 0 stars in 2025–2026. Sacramento Elementary School spends the most per student ($22,504) but has the lowest science score (10.3%).

Across all four schools, 5th-grade math and science are the weakest areas, and all schools exceed the state chronic absenteeism rate of 33.5% while staying below the district rate of 45.5%. Notably, higher spending and smaller class sizes do not line up with stronger results here. Families should also look at grade-level swings: Sacramento's 4th-grade math (29.0%) is close to Russell's, but its 5th-grade math drops to 5.7%, suggesting cohort-level differences worth exploring.
