Summary

Lupine Community Montessori Charter School is a K–8 charter school in Gresham, Oregon, serving 288 students within the Gresham-Barlow School District 10J area, where it is the second-strongest of eleven nearby schools in test proficiency but still ranks below the Oregon average overall.

On 2025–2026 statewide rankings, Lupine placed 534th of 709 Oregon schools (25th percentile, 1 star). That marked a sharp one-year drop from a three-year plateau at 37th–38th percentile, though the long-term trend is up from the 10th percentile in 2015–16. Compared with nearby schools, Lupine is second only to Gresham Arthur Academy, which ranks in the 87th percentile; most other local schools—including East Gresham Elementary, Hollydale Elementary, North Gresham Elementary, Highland Elementary, Hall Elementary, Rockwood Preparatory Academy, Davis Elementary School, Woodland Elementary, and Salish Ponds Elementary—rank lower. Lupine beats the Gresham-Barlow School District 10J average in English language arts, math, and science, and beats the state in science (33.3% vs. 30.6%). It also reports 25.3% chronic absenteeism, better than the district’s 40.3% and the state’s 33.5%; only Gresham Arthur Academy (10.1%) is lower nearby. Reported per-student spending is $6,048, far below nearby district-run elementaries, though charter figures may use a different reporting basis.

Inside the school, results vary by grade. Third-grade ELA is 21.9% versus the state’s 41.5%, and fifth-grade math is 15.2% versus 32.4%, while eighth-grade ELA is 51.7% (state 41.5%), eighth-grade math is 31.0% (state 30.0%), and eighth-grade science is 46.7% (state 27.7%). This suggests early literacy and middle-grade math/science are pressure points, while later grades and science are relative strengths. A reported student-teacher ratio of 41.1 in 2024–25 looks like a data artifact, not a real classroom count. Because Lupine is small, single-grade results can swing; the multi-year patterns matter more than any one year.

My family along with several other family's had a horrible experience at this school. I felt like there was inconsistency and a lack of supporting students, also continuing to let students move along with out the basic skills they need in order to move along. Montessori is an amazing theory and I love it, but when done incorrectly chaos occurs and stress within students and teachers make for an unpleasant environment! when a new school has such a high turn over rate...theirs a problem! I hope they get it together for the sake of the children. Close Quote
