Summary

Harvey Clarke Elementary School is a mid-sized K–4 school serving roughly 390 students in Forest Grove, Oregon, part of Forest Grove School District 15. The district ranks 102nd of 141 in Oregon (28th percentile, 1 star), while Harvey Clarke Elementary School's 2025–2026 rank is 420th of 709 (41st percentile, 2 stars) — above its district but below the state average. Its recent history is volatile rather than steadily declining: the school was a 4-star school at the 83rd percentile in 2016–2017 and 2018–2019, sat in the 59th–64th percentile range from 2021–2022 through 2023–2024, dropped sharply to the 32nd percentile in 2024–2025, and partially recovered to the 41st percentile in 2025–2026.

In 2025–2026 state tests, 39% of students met standards in English language arts (versus 33.1% district, 43.8% state) and 33.7% in math (versus 22% district, 32.9% state), so the school beats its district in both subjects and roughly matches the state in math while trailing in reading. Third grade is close to state levels, but 4th grade lags — 4th grade math is 29.2% against the state's 38.9%. Locally, Harvey Clarke trails Dilley Elementary School (55.9% reading, 61% math) and Forest Grove Community School (43.2%), while outperforming Echo Shaw Elementary School, Cornelius Elementary School, Fern Hill Elementary School, and Joseph Gale Elementary School. Dilley serves a nearly identical high-poverty population (81.09% vs. 80% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch) and spends less per student, suggesting poverty alone does not explain the gap.

About 80% of Harvey Clarke students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, and chronic absenteeism was 29.3% — better than the district's 35.6% and the state's 33.5%, and better than Echo Shaw, Joseph Gale, and Fern Hill, though higher than Forest Grove Community (15.7%) and Paul L Patterson Elementary School (14.1%). Per-student spending is $20,428 with a 16.1 student-teacher ratio, both mid-pack locally. Results for low-income students have swung widely, from the 77th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 40th in 2025–2026, while special education results climbed to the 54th percentile (3 stars) — a pattern of uneven stability rather than steady improvement.
