Summary

Meadows Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 320 students in outer Portland within Centennial School District 28J, a district ranked 125th of 141 in Oregon (11th percentile, 1 star). In 2025–2026, Meadows ranked 602nd of 709 Oregon elementary schools (15th percentile, 1 star), with proficiency of 30.1% in English language arts, 21.7% in math, and 10.7% in science — all below the state averages of 43.8%, 32.9%, and 30.6%.

Within its immediate area, Meadows is a relative bright spot. It outperforms Powell Butte Elementary School, Parklane Elementary School, Davis Elementary School, Hartley Elementary School, Alder Elementary School, and usually North Gresham Elementary School and Rockwood Preparatory Academy in ELA and math, and is close to Patrick Lynch Elementary. Lupine Community Montessori Charter School scores higher in all subjects, but it is a K–8 charter with a very different model. Attendance is Meadows' clearest strength: chronic absenteeism dropped to 25.2% in 2024–2025 from 47.7% in 2022–2023 — better than the district (39.9%), the state (33.5%), and every nearby school except a near-tie with Lupine.

Grade-level results show where support is most needed: 5th-grade math (14.3%) and 5th-grade science (10.7%) are the weakest areas, while 4th-grade ELA (33.3%) is above the district average. Among student groups, Hispanic students (36th percentile) and special education students (30th percentile) perform relatively better than the school overall, while English language learners (11th percentile) are very low, and low-SES students fell from the 69th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 5th percentile in 2025–2026 — a major warning sign worth asking about. Economic need is extremely high, with free/reduced lunch reported at 101.25%. Meadows spends $24,112 per student, with a student–teacher ratio of 19.3, higher than most nearby schools.
