Summary

Gresham Arthur Academy is a K–5 charter elementary school serving 168 students at 1890 NE Cleveland Ave in Gresham, Oregon, part of the Gresham-Barlow School District 10J. It is a standout: in 2025-26 it ranked 94th of 709 Oregon elementary schools (87th percentile, 4 stars), while its own district ranks 114th of 141 districts statewide (19th percentile, 1 star). Every traditional Gresham-Barlow elementary nearby ranks between the 3rd and 25th percentile. The long trend is upward, from the 70th percentile in 2014-15 to the mid-to-high 80s today, with nine of ten reported years at 4 stars.

The proficiency gap between this school and its neighbors is large. In English language arts, 75.3% of students met state standards — more than double the next-best school in the area, Reynolds Arthur Academy (59.3%), and far above the district's 32.3% and Oregon's 43.8%. In math, 56.2% were proficient versus 19.9% district-wide and 32.9% statewide; no other nearby school clears 33%. Chronic absenteeism is 10.1%, roughly a quarter of the district's 40.3% and well under the state's 33.5%. Nearby schools run much higher — East Gresham Elementary School at 27.2%, North Gresham Elementary School at 31.3%, and Hall Elementary School at 42.5%. About 81.55% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch — essentially the same rate as surrounding schools.

A few watch items: grade 5 is the soft spot, with 63.2% proficient in ELA and 31.6% in math — the only figure at the school below the state mark — after a strong grade 4 (84.6% ELA, 65.4% math). Science (36.8%) is above the state's 30.6% but is the thinnest margin, and Reynolds Arthur Academy (40.0%) edges past it. Reported spending of $6,048 per student looks low next to $17,601–$20,878 at nearby district schools, but other charters report nearly identical amounts, so treat those figures cautiously.
