Summary

Parklane Elementary School is a K–5 school with 397 students at 15811 SE Main St in outer southeast Portland, serving one of the metro area's most economically challenged communities within Centennial School District 28J, a district that itself ranks near the bottom of Oregon. In 2025–26 the school ranked 650th of 709 Oregon elementary schools — the 8th percentile, a zero-star rating — continuing a three-year slide from the 13th percentile in 2021–22. About 27.2% of students met standards in English language arts, 16.4% in math, and 6.3% in science, all below district and state rates.

Results vary sharply by grade. Third-grade English language arts (34.8%) is close to the district rate, but by fifth grade math falls to 7.9% and science to 6.3% — roughly a quarter of the state rate. Within its own district, Parklane is outperformed in every subject by Patrick Lynch Elementary and Meadows Elementary, and only Powell Butte Elementary School ranks below it. Meadows, with similar enrollment and nearly identical per-student spending, reports 25.2% chronic absenteeism compared with Parklane's 41.2% — above both the district and state averages, and second-highest in the nearby group.

Money is not the obvious constraint: Parklane spends $24,015 per student, yet Arthur Academy, 1.3 miles away with the same fully low-income profile, spends $11,111 and ranks in the 85th percentile with 4 stars and 9.3% chronic absenteeism. Parklane's relative bright spots are its students with disabilities (26th percentile, above the school average) and its Hispanic students (36th percentile, 2 stars, up from 13th). The sharpest decline is among English language learners, who fell from the 64th percentile to the 2nd percentile. The weaknesses are concentrated in upper-grade math and science, English language learner support, and attendance — areas worth asking about directly.
