Summary

Pleasant Valley Elementary School is a K–5 school at 17625 SE Foster Rd in Gresham, Oregon, serving 328 students as part of Centennial School District 28J, a district ranked 125th of 141 in Oregon (11th percentile, 1 star). Against that backdrop, the school's own results stand out: in 2025–26 it ranked 291st of 709 Oregon elementary schools (59th percentile, 3 stars), the best single-year result in the ten years of rank history available, and the third straight cycle in the school's strongest sustained stretch on record.

Pleasant Valley outperforms its district in every subject — ELA 42.7 vs. 31.1, math 42.7 vs. 19.8, and science 36.1 vs. 16.8 — and lands above the state average in math (32.9) and science (30.6), with ELA essentially at the state line (42.7 vs. 43.8). It is also the academic leader among the Centennial schools nearby, ahead of Butler Creek Elementary School (44th percentile), Patrick Lynch Elementary (17th), Meadows Elementary (15th), and Powell Butte Elementary School (4th). Butler Creek is the closest peer in reading (42.8), yet Pleasant Valley is 10.6 points higher in math and 11.1 points higher in science. The fairest outside benchmark is Beatrice Morrow Cannady Elementary, with nearly identical per-student spending ($21,736 vs. $21,799) and similar results despite serving far fewer students from low-income families.

Momentum looks genuine: chronic absenteeism fell from 42.5% to 26.3%, a 16.2-point gain versus the district's 6.4-point improvement, and now sits below the state rate of 33.5%. Hispanic students (86th percentile), low-income students (69th), and English-language learners (68th) all rank above the school's overall standing. Two areas to watch: 5th-grade ELA at 41.7% trails the state (47.1%) by 5.4 points, and special-education students ranked in the 25th percentile (1 star) in 2023–24, the weakest result on record, with no newer data available.
