Hall Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Gresham, Oregon, serving 404 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Gresham-Barlow School District, which is ranked 95 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite serving a high percentage of disadvantaged students, with 71.04% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and a significant number of English Language Learners, Hall Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Oregon elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 640-701 out of 710 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments (OSAS) is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 12.3% of 3rd graders, 20% of 4th graders, and 9.1% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district averages of 30%, 33.8%, and 36.6%, respectively.
The challenges faced by Hall Elementary are further highlighted by the performance of nearby schools in the Gresham-Barlow School District, such as North Gresham Elementary, East Gresham Elementary, and Powell Valley Elementary, which generally perform better academically and have lower percentages of students from disadvantaged backgrounds. This suggests that Hall Elementary may not be receiving the necessary resources and funding to effectively support its high-needs student population, as the school has a relatively low per-student spending of $16,835 and a higher student-teacher ratio of 16.1 compared to the other nearby schools.
