Summary

East Orient Elementary School is a K–5 public school in Gresham, Oregon, serving 382 students as part of Gresham-Barlow School District 10J. The district is low-ranked statewide, but East Orient is a clear outlier: in 2025–26 it ranked 259th of 709 Oregon elementary schools, placing it in the 63rd percentile with 3 stars. That is above the state median and far above its district, though below the school’s historical peak of 85th–90th percentile and 4–5 stars in 2016–2019.

In 2025–26, East Orient posted 56.0% proficient in English Language Arts, 37.8% in mathematics, and 26.1% in science. ELA is its strongest subject: it beats the district by 23.7 points and the state by 12.2 points. Math is also above both district (+17.9 points) and state (+4.9 points). Science is above the district but 4.5 points below the state, with 5th-grade science at 26.1% compared with 30.8% statewide. Among traditional same-district elementary schools, East Orient has the highest all-grades proficiency in ELA, math, and science—ahead of East Gresham Elementary School, Hall Elementary School, Hogan Cedars Elementary School, Kelly Creek Elementary School, and Powell Valley Elementary School. Nearby academy-model schools Gresham Arthur Academy and Oregon Trail Academy outperform East Orient across all three subjects, but they may not be directly comparable in governance, funding, or student intake.

Other parent-relevant metrics are mostly positive. Chronic absenteeism was 26.0% in 2024–25, lower than the district’s 40.3% and the state’s 33.5%, and lower than most same-district peers. Per-student spending was $17,710 with a student-teacher ratio of 20.4, which is lower spending and a higher class size than several nearby traditional schools, yet East Orient still achieves the strongest traditional results. The free/reduced-lunch rate rose to 82.46% in 2024–25 from 43.59% in 2023–24 and 29.78% in 2022–23, a large shift that may reflect changing student need, reporting changes, or both. Equity data to watch: low socio-economic status students ranked in the 45th percentile (2 stars), down from the 70th percentile (4 stars) in 2024–25, and male students ranked higher than female students in 2025–26.
