Summary

Forest Hills Elementary School is a K–5 public school in Lake Oswego, Oregon, serving 389 students as part of Lake Oswego School District 7J. It ranks 18th out of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2025–2026 (97th percentile, 5 stars) and has stayed in the top 2–3% of the state recently. All-grades proficiency is 77% in English Language Arts, 77.1% in Math, and 61.4% in Science—well above district and state averages. Chronic absenteeism was 11.7% in 2024–2025, far below the district’s 18.1% and the state’s 33.5%.

Compared with nearby schools, Forest Hills Elementary School is elite but not the local top performer. Westridge Elementary School ranks 2nd statewide, Palisades World Language School 3rd, and Riverdale Grade School 5th. Forest Hills Elementary School’s ELA and Math scores trail Westridge Elementary School and Palisades World Language School but exceed Hallinan Elementary School, Lake Grove Elementary School, and Oak Creek Elementary School. Science is below Westridge Elementary School, Palisades World Language School, and Hallinan Elementary School, yet above Lake Grove Elementary School and Oak Creek Elementary School. Absenteeism beats Hallinan Elementary School and Lake Grove Elementary School but lags Westridge Elementary School, Palisades World Language School, Oak Creek Elementary School, and Stephenson Elementary School.

Fourth grade is a bright spot: 85.1% in both ELA and Math, above district averages. Fifth grade fell below district averages in all three subjects—though still above state averages. The school is especially strong for special education students (5th of 355, 99th percentile) and gifted students (4th of 70, 94th percentile), after prior #1 rankings. Its student–teacher ratio of 16.7 is the highest among Lake Oswego same-district peers, yet results remain high. Per-student spending is $20,480, lower than Westridge Elementary School and Palisades World Language School, and far lower than lower-performing Oak Grove Elementary, Milwaukie El Puente Elementary School, and Riverside Elementary School in North Clackamas School District 12. Its free/reduced-lunch rate is 6.94%, very low compared with those North Clackamas schools (58–69%), and Stephenson Elementary School in Portland School District 1J achieves similar ELA and Math scores with a much higher rate.
