Summary

Mill Park Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 1900 SE 117th Ave in Portland's outer southeast, part of David Douglas School District 40, and with 494 students it has the largest enrollment of the eight David Douglas elementaries compared here.

Academically, Mill Park sits in the bottom tier of Oregon elementary schools: 627th of 709, or the 12th percentile, with a 1-star rating. That is still a real improvement — in the mid-2010s the school was in the bottom 1–7% of the state — but it remains below the 24th-percentile position of its own district. On 2025-26 state tests, 26.4% of students met the standard in English language arts, 21.5% in math and 11.1% in science, compared with district averages of 35.1%, 24.6% and 22.1%, and state averages of 43.8%, 32.9% and 30.6%. Science is the sharpest gap — the lowest figure among every David Douglas school in this comparison — though it comes from a single 5th-grade cohort. Reading scores rise from 19.7% in 3rd grade to 30.5% in 5th, while math holds flat at about 21–22% in every grade.

A few comparisons stand out. Cherry Park Elementary School, 0.71 miles away in the same district, posts 55.0% ELA and 45.7% math on $10,822 more per student ($35,392 vs. $24,570) and a smaller 17.0:1 class ratio; Mill Park has the lowest per-pupil spending and the highest student-teacher ratio (19.7:1) among its same-district peers. Chronic absenteeism has improved markedly, from 46.3% in 2022-23 to 33.3% — now below both the district and the state. Effectiveness with special education students jumped to the 50th percentile (3 stars), but effectiveness for low-income students, essentially the whole student body, fell to the 13th percentile from the 34th–39th range. Arthur Academy, a small charter a mile away, shows strong results on much lower funding, so spending alone does not explain outcomes.

Teachers are great but without support of the district and principle their hands are tied in constant class disruption. Close Quote
