Summary

Kelly Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school in Gresham, Oregon, serving 360 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Gresham-Barlow School District, which is ranked 107 out of 140 districts in the state.

Kelly Creek Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, dropping from a high of 160 out of 701 Oregon elementary schools in 2016-2017 to a low of 511 out of 706 in 2024-2025. This is in contrast to the nearby Gresham Arthur Academy, which has consistently maintained a high ranking and a 4-star rating. Kelly Creek's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the district and state averages, and the school has struggled with the performance of certain student subgroups, particularly male and white students.

Additionally, Kelly Creek Elementary School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.3% to 45.0% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a large proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. These factors may be contributing to the school's overall academic performance, and addressing the underlying issues, such as providing additional support and resources for students and families, could be crucial in improving the school's outcomes.
