Summary

North Gresham Elementary School is a K–5 public school in Gresham, Oregon, serving 584 students within the Gresham-Barlow School District 10J — the largest enrollment among the nearby schools compared here. About 83% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, per-student spending was $17,748, and the student-teacher ratio was 18.3.

Academically, North Gresham ranks 662nd of 709 Oregon elementary schools (7th percentile, 0 stars), and its district ranks 114th of 141. On 2025–26 state tests, 22.7% of students met standards in English language arts, 19.1% in math, and just 10.1% in science, compared with 43.8%, 32.9%, and 30.6% statewide. Math is close to the district's 19.9%, but that district average is itself far below the state. Science is the clearest weakness: at 10.1%, it is the lowest among all nearby schools, which range from 11.7% at Highland Elementary School to 36.8% at Gresham Arthur Academy. Even so, North Gresham's ELA and math results are higher than those at Hall Elementary School, Highland Elementary School, Woodland Elementary, Salish Ponds Elementary School, and Davis Elementary School.

One bright spot is attendance: chronic absenteeism fell from 47.6% in 2022–23 to 31.3% in 2024–25, better than both the district (40.3%) and state (33.5%) averages and better than most nearby schools. Support for specific groups of students is uneven, though — special education students, low-income students, and English language learners all rank in the low percentiles compared with similar students statewide. Gresham Arthur Academy serves a similarly high-poverty population but posts much higher scores, a reminder that low achievement is not inevitable, though charter and enrollment differences make it an imperfect comparison.
