Summary

Menlo Park Elementary School is a PK–5 school of 355 students in David Douglas School District 40, located at 12900 NE Glisan St in a high-poverty pocket of outer east Portland. Statewide, it ranks 413th of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2025-2026 (42nd percentile, 2 stars) — mid-tier overall, but the strongest of the district-run neighborhood schools around it, and well above its own district's 24th-percentile standing. The trajectory is upward: from a low of 19th percentile in 2017-18 to 42nd today, its best showing since 2015-16.

Math is the clear bright spot. At 34.3% proficiency, Menlo Park is the only school in its comparison group to beat the state math average (32.9%) while sitting in a district averaging 24.6%. Fourth grade is genuinely exceptional — 58.1% proficient in math, higher than any school in the group, including Arthur Academy (56.5%). Attendance is another real strength: 31.1% chronic absenteeism is lower than the district (34.5%), the state (33.5%), and every other district-run school nearby, such as Ventura Park Elementary School (35.6%), Mill Park Elementary School (33.3%), and Lincoln Park Elementary School (36.4%). The school also ranks 30th of 355 statewide (92nd percentile, 5 stars) for its special education students — its strongest equity result.

Fifth grade is the biggest concern: 17.6% proficient in math, 32.4% in ELA, and science at 20.3% falls below even the district. There's also a wide internal gap in how female students perform relative to male peers (22nd vs. 64th percentile statewide). Finally, Menlo Park spends $27,874 per student — the most in its peer group — while Arthur Academy achieves far higher proficiency on roughly $11,111, a real efficiency question for families to weigh.
