Summary

Hollydale Elementary School is a K–5 school at 505 SW Birdsdale Ave in Gresham, Oregon, serving 474 students in the Gresham-Barlow School District 10J, a district that itself ranks 114th of 141 Oregon districts. Hollydale sits in the mainstream of that district — its per-student spending ($17,715), class size (18.6 students per teacher) and poverty rate (81.4% free/reduced lunch) are nearly identical to the other Gresham-Barlow elementaries nearby — yet the school has been in a long, steady decline, falling from 2 stars and roughly the 37th–38th state percentile in the mid-2010s to 0 stars and the 9th percentile (rank 644 of 709) in 2025-26.

In 2025-26, 27.9% of students met standards in English language arts, 16.3% in math, and 14.3% in science. That trails the state (43.8%, 32.9%, 30.6%) by about 16 points in each subject and its own district by 4–5 points. Among the four Gresham-Barlow elementaries in this comparison — East Gresham Elementary School, North Gresham Elementary School and Highland Elementary School — Hollydale is second-best in reading and science but last in math. Reading is the relative strength: fifth-grade ELA (35.7%) actually beats the district average, while that same fifth-grade group scores 12.9% in math and 14.3% in science.

Chronic absenteeism is high at 37.3% — better than the district's 40.3% but worse than Oregon's 33.5%, and up 4.1 points from the prior year. English learners are the school's best-served group (42nd percentile), while special-education students (7th percentile) and boys (6th percentile) are the lowest. Nearby schools show what is possible: Butler Creek Elementary School, 1.4 miles away with a higher poverty rate, posts 42.8% reading and 32.1% math, and Gresham Arthur Academy ranks in the 84th–88th percentile at a far smaller reported per-student cost. Spending and poverty alone do not explain Hollydale's results. Targeted math and science support looks like the highest-leverage step.

Do yourself and your family a favor, DO NOT enroll your kids at this school.

We never felt welcomed or comfortable at Hollydale so we got involved by volunteering and attending after school events, thinking it was because we were new to the school. Boy I was wrong. About 2 months into the school year, I was told by my son’s kinder teacher that he wasn’t conforming like the other kids in class. And that she's NEVER seen a child like him before and that he is smart but shows signs of being special. As you could imagine, I was concerned and started to volunteer bi-weekly rather than monthly. And the more I tried to be involved, the more Hollydale wasn’t so helpful. I’ve been hung up on several times by the office and pre-judged several times. Not to mention, when I called to ask follow-up questions to an incident that took place, I was told that they had already spoken to the “child’s father” and don’t have time to answer any other questions and that, they didn’t know I didn’t live with my child (which isn’t the case). When I brought my concerns to the principal, she completely dismissed me and would make condescending comments to me after we meet. So I reached out to the Executive Director of Elementary Education at Gresham Barlow School District, seeking guidance on how to better communicate with a principal who I thought didn’t support good communications between teachers and parents and a teacher that says she’s intimidated by a parent. I was told by the Executive Director of Elementary Education that she would be personally coaching the principal on how to better communicate with parents. Needless to say, the rest of the school year was not fun. The kinder teacher would make comments about my son that were not only condescending, but clear indications of micro aggressions whether intentional or not. I can go on and on but to sum it up Hollydale's principal and staff bully parents.

I transferred my son to East Gresham and he is doing AMAZING!! East Gresham is a breath of fresh air compared to Hollydale and the staff at East Gresham is so welcoming and inclusive. I cant thank East Gresham enough for supporting not only my son's education, but my husband and I as caring parents. Close Quote
