Summary

Gilbert Park Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 13132 SE Ramona St in outer southeast Portland, serving 503 students—the largest enrollment among nearby comparison schools—within the David Douglas School District 40. Statewide, it ranks 614th of 709 elementary/middle schools (13th percentile, 1 star) in 2025-26, continuing a step-change decline from the 18th–41st percentile range it occupied from 2014-15 through 2021-22. Current proficiency is ELA 27.2%, math 21.1%, and science 17.1%, below both its district (35.1 / 24.6 / 22.1) and state (43.8 / 32.9 / 30.6).

Among its David Douglas School District 40 peers, Gilbert Park Elementary School is the largest and most thinly staffed, with 23.9 students per teacher—the only school above 21 in the group and 3.1 higher than next-highest Happy Valley Elementary School (20.8). Its $24,590 per-student spending is mid-pack locally: more than Happy Valley ($19,256) and Arthur Academy ($11,111), but less than Earl Boyles Elementary ($29,487), Gilbert Heights Elementary School ($27,183), and others. Chronic absenteeism is 28.7%, below district (34.5%) and state (33.5%) and fourth-lowest among eleven nearby schools—a clear strength. Within its district cluster, it ranks 2nd in ELA (27.2), 4th in math (21.1), and 2nd in science (17.1). Gilbert Heights Elementary School, 0.78 miles away, outperforms it in ELA (29.0 vs 27.2) and math (24.6 vs 21.1). Arthur Academy, 1.74 miles away, posts 68.8% ELA, 48.4% math, and 57.9% science with $11,111 per student and a 13.0:1 ratio.

The attendance story and achievement story point in opposite directions: students attend more reliably than district and state averages, but proficiency remains low. The school's low-income subgroup—closely overlapping the overall population given near-universal meal eligibility—ranks in the 5th percentile statewide with 0 stars. English Language Learner students rank 26th percentile, the strongest measured subgroup area. Special education students fell from 80th percentile with 4 stars (2017-18) to 10th percentile with 1 star (2024-25). ELA proficiency rises by grade (3rd 21.3, 4th 26.9, 5th 33.8), while math falls (3rd 24.1, 4th 20.8, 5th 18.4); third-grade ELA is 20.2 points below state. Per-student spending rose 18.4% over three years while the statewide percentile slipped from 16th to 13th.
