Summary

East Gresham Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 563 students in grades K-5 in the Gresham-Barlow School District in Gresham, Oregon. The school has consistently struggled, ranking in the bottom 30% of Oregon elementary schools over the past decade, with academic performance that lags behind the district and state averages.

East Gresham Elementary's key challenges include low academic proficiency, high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 32.7% to 45.0%, and a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 66.43% to 73.87% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger reflects these ongoing performance issues. Interestingly, nearby schools in the Gresham-Barlow district, such as Hall Elementary and Hollydale Elementary, also struggle academically, while the public charter school Gresham Arthur Academy significantly outperforms the district average.

Despite spending more per student ($18,584 in 2022-2023) compared to the district average, East Gresham Elementary's additional funding does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and English Language Learners performing better than the overall student population in recent years, while multi-racial students and special education students have struggled the most. Addressing these complex challenges will require targeted interventions and a comprehensive, district-wide approach to improving educational outcomes in the Gresham-Barlow area.
