Summary

Kelly Creek Elementary School is a K–5 school in Gresham, Oregon, serving 368 students in the Gresham-Barlow School District 10J, in a high-poverty area of the Portland metro where 81.79% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. The school's state ranking has fallen steadily over the past decade: it ranked in the 77th percentile with 4 stars in 2016–2017, but by 2025–2026 it had dropped to the 17th percentile with 1 star. Per-student spending is relatively high at $19,573 (2024–2025), yet its student-teacher ratio of 21.6 is the highest among nearby schools.

On 2025–2026 state tests, 27.9% of Kelly Creek Elementary School students met standards in English language arts, 23.5% in math, and 6% in science. Math is above the district average (19.9%) but below the state (32.9%); ELA is below both the district (32.3%) and state (43.8%); and science is the school's sharpest weakness, well below the district's 19% and the state's 30.6%. Performance varies by grade: 3rd grade ELA is 38.9% and 3rd grade math 34.5%, above the district, while 5th grade stands at 18% in ELA, 12% in math, and 6% in science. Nearby high-poverty schools show what may be possible: East Orient Elementary School, in the same district with similar poverty and lower spending, reaches 56% in ELA, 37.8% in math, and 26.1% in science, and Gresham Arthur Academy reaches 75.3% in ELA and 56.2% in math. Powell Valley Elementary School posts similar ELA and math results but 19.6% in science.

Chronic absenteeism was 34.6% in 2024–2025 — better than the district's 40.3% but slightly above the state's 33.5%, and higher than East Orient Elementary School (26.0%), Hogan Cedars Elementary School (26.8%), and East Gresham Elementary School (27.2%). Students from low-income families rank in the 3rd percentile, and special education rankings have fallen to the 13th percentile from the 70s in 2017–2019. Bright spots include 3rd grade results and, historically, strong outcomes for English language learners (81st percentile in 2023–2024). Kelly Creek is not the lowest-performing school nearby — Hall Elementary School and Highland Elementary School rank lower — but it trails East Orient by a wide margin.
