Summary

Lincoln Park Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 457 students in outer southeast Portland (97233), one of eight elementary campuses in David Douglas School District 40, a district ranked in the bottom quartile statewide. The school's ten-year record shows a long downward drift rather than one bad year: it peaked at the 33rd percentile (2 stars) in 2014-15 and now sits at the 6th percentile (0 stars) in 2025-26, its lowest mark on record, after a sharp step down beginning in 2024-25.

On 2025-26 state tests, 23.9% of students met standards in English language arts, 17.3% in math, and 11.3% in science — lowest in its district group in reading and math, and roughly one-third of the state science rate. That puts the school about 20 points below the state in reading and 16 in math. The gap is not a neighborhood ceiling: Cherry Park Elementary School (same district, 1.45 miles away) posts 55.0% and 45.7%, and Arthur Academy posts 68.8% and 48.4%. Chronic absenteeism is 36.4%, the highest among David Douglas School District 40 campuses and above both district and state averages — and while the district and state improved since 2022-23, this school stayed flat. Older students trail most: 5th-grade math is 13.9% and 5th-grade science 11.3%.

A genuine bright spot: English language learners are the school's strongest group, at the 40th percentile with 2 stars and improving three years running — a plausible strength to study and extend. Per-student spending has risen about 18% in three years to $25,550, more than some nearby schools but less than several others, without yet showing up in proficiency. Worth asking the school about attendance supports, class size, and early-grade reading.
