Summary

Parkdale Elementary School is a small, rural K–5 school serving 264 students in Mount Hood Parkdale, Oregon, and it is the only elementary school in the upper Hood River Valley, roughly 7 to 18 miles from the other Hood River County School District elementaries. In 2025–26 it ranked 506th of 709 Oregon elementary schools (29th percentile, 1 star), its lowest showing since 2021–22, though over the past decade it has ranged between the 26th and 62nd percentile.

On 2025–26 state tests, 31.5% of Parkdale Elementary School students met standards in English language arts, 26.4% in math, and 31.0% in science. That trails the district (47.1% ELA, 36.4% math, 33.5% science) and the state in reading and math, but science is essentially at the state average (30.6%) — Parkdale's strongest subject. The most striking comparison is with its own neighbors: Westside Elementary School (71.1% low-income) ranks 93rd percentile, May Street Elementary School (70.8%) 74th, Parkdale (71.2%) 29th, and Mid Valley Elementary School (70.6%) 24th — four schools with nearly identical poverty rates and similar per-student spending ($20,944 at Parkdale vs. $21,512 at Westside) producing very different results.

Attendance is a genuine strength: Parkdale's chronic absenteeism rate of 13.8% is the lowest in this group and less than half the state's 33.5%, down from 26.0% three years ago. Achievement climbs steadily by grade — 3rd grade is the weak point (24.4% ELA, 22.5% math), while 5th grade reaches 40.5% ELA and 33.3% math, above the state in math. The school's low-income students rank at the 51st percentile statewide, above the median for that group. A sharp one-year drop among English learners, from the 71st percentile (4 stars) to the 8th percentile (0 stars), is worth asking about rather than assuming it marks a trend. Parkdale still outperforms the North Wasco County School District 21 schools 19 miles away, including Colonel Wright Elementary School (8th percentile) and Chenowith Elementary School (1st percentile).
