Summary

East Orient Elementary School is a public elementary school in Gresham, Oregon, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Gresham-Barlow School District, which is ranked 107 out of 140 school districts in the state.

East Orient Elementary School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past decade, ranging from a high of 69th out of 697 Oregon elementary schools in 2015-2016 to a low of 332nd out of 706 schools in 2022-2023. Currently, the school ranks 214th out of 710 Oregon elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year, maintaining a 3-star rating. The school consistently outperforms the district and state in standardized test scores for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with its 5th-grade students achieving proficiency rates significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools in the Gresham-Barlow School District, East Orient Elementary School outperforms most, including East Gresham Elementary, Hall Elementary, and Powell Valley Elementary. However, the school lags behind the performance of Gresham Arthur Academy, a public charter school within the district that consistently ranks among the top-performing elementary schools in the state. Despite its higher per-student spending, East Orient Elementary School's student-teacher ratio is similar to nearby schools, suggesting that the additional funding may not translate to smaller class sizes or more individualized attention for students. The school's persistent challenge with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 26.6% to 45.0% over the past few years, is an area that requires focused attention and intervention to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
