Summary

Arthur Academy is a small K–5 school at 13717 SE Division St in outer southeast Portland, serving 156 students inside David Douglas School District 40, a district ranked in the bottom quarter of Oregon districts.

Arthur is the clear standout in its neighborhood. For 2025–2026 it ranks 105th of 709 Oregon elementary schools (85th percentile, 4 stars), while every same-district elementary nearby — Cherry Park Elementary School, Menlo Park Elementary School, Ventura Park Elementary School, Gilbert Heights Elementary School, West Powellhurst Elementary School, Earl Boyles Elementary, Mill Park Elementary School and Lincoln Park Elementary School — is rated 1 or 2 stars, with Cherry Park, the next strongest, sitting 125 rank positions behind. In 2025–2026, 68.8% of Arthur students met English language arts standards versus 35.1% in the district and 43.8% statewide; math was 48.4% versus 24.6% and 32.9%; science was 57.9% versus 22.1% and 30.6%, well over double every nearby peer. This followed a dip in 2022–2024; the school has now fully recovered to its best result since 2016–2017.

Two operational figures stand out. Chronic absenteeism is 9.3%, about one-third the rate of the next-best nearby school and far below the state's 33.5%. Arthur spends $11,111 per student, against $24,015–$35,392 for nearby district peers, and has the lowest student-to-teacher ratio in the group at 13:1. The soft spot is math: 3rd grade math (36.4%) trails the state (41.3%), though it climbs to 56.5% by 4th grade, and the 5th grade class leads on all three subjects. With only 156 students, single-year grade figures can swing on a few test-takers, so multi-year trends are the more reliable guide.

David Douglas Charter School is a excellent learning establishment. I have had one child complete her 3rd,4th and 5th grades there and now she is attending Alice Ott and getting all A's..Now I am faced with the choice of moving or allowing my smart eager to learn child into the David Douglas Highschool which is highly overpoplated and under challenging.
