Summary
Terra Linda Elementary School is a K–5 school in Portland, Oregon serving 268 students — the smallest enrollment among the nearby schools compared here — and part of Beaverton School District 48J, which ranks 19th of 141 Oregon districts (87th percentile, 4 stars). Terra Linda itself ranks 108th of 709 elementary schools statewide in 2025–2026, the 85th percentile with 4 stars — a step down from its 2024–2025 peak of 60th of 706 (92nd percentile, 5 stars), but still stronger than its 2022–2023 and 2023–2024 results.
Its clearest strength is attendance. The 2024–2025 chronic absenteeism rate was 12.8%, less than half the district's 28.7% and the state's 33.5%, and second lowest among nearby schools behind only Findley Elementary at 9.2%. That rate has fallen every year, from 26.3% in 2021–2022. Terra Linda also has the highest per-student spending in its comparison group at $23,717 (2024–2025) and a student-teacher ratio of 14.4, second lowest after Barnes Elementary School (13.9) and far below Bonny Slope Elementary School (19.4), Forest Park Elementary School (19.1), and Findley (18.9).
Academically, Terra Linda beats district and state averages in all three tested subjects: English language arts 62.1%, math 53.6%, and science 46.5%, versus 43.8%, 32.9%, and 30.6% statewide. Within its local cluster, though, it ranks 8th of 11 in each subject — ahead of Elmonica Elementary School, McKinley Elementary School, and Barnes, but behind Forest Park (ELA 88.4%), Findley (math 77.3%, science 71.4%), Bonny Slope, Jacob Wismer Elementary School, Bethany Elementary School, Oak Hills Elementary School, and Cedar Mill Elementary School. Special education students rank at the 95th percentile and female students at the 91st, while low-SES results fell to the 62nd percentile (3 stars) from 86th the year before; gifted results swing widely but rest on small numbers. Math and science relative to top local peers are the main areas to watch.
