Summary

Jacob Wismer Elementary School is a K–5 school of 592 students in the Beaverton School District 48J, located at 5477 NW Skycrest Pkwy in the Bethany area of northwest Portland. It has earned 5 stars in every year on record and ranked 28th of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2025–26 — the top 4% of the state. Historically it was even higher: from 2014–15 through 2018–19 it ranked among Oregon's top 10 schools, and while it now sits in the top 4–6%, it has never fallen outside the top 6%.

By the numbers, students here score well above both district and state averages: 73.3% in English language arts, 72.4% in math, and 60.6% in science, compared with 43.8%, 32.9%, and 30.6% statewide. Chronic absenteeism is 15.1%, roughly half the district's 28.7% and the state's 33.5%. The neighborhood is competitive — nine of ten nearby schools rank in the state's top 15% — but Jacob Wismer holds its own. Science is its signature: 60.6% is second only to Findley Elementary (71.4%) in the cluster, and it beats Forest Park Elementary's 55.3% even though Forest Park outranks it overall. About three miles away, McKinley Elementary posts 37.6% in ELA and 26.9% in math with 35.5% chronic absenteeism — a striking gap within one district.

The school's most remarkable distinction is how well it serves English language learners: it ranked 1st of 107 Oregon schools on that measure three years running. Students with disabilities also place near the top of the state, at the 96th percentile. Low-income students are the one group to watch, sitting at the 68th–69th percentile in recent years; note that reported free/reduced-lunch rates jumped district-wide in 2024–25, so that figure isn't comparable to earlier years. Spending is near the neighborhood average at $19,148 per student with 17.9 students per teacher. Performance is strongest in the upper grades, with 5th-grade results among the best nearby.
