Summary

Palisades World Language School is a K–5 elementary school at 1500 Greentree Rd in Lake Oswego, OR, serving 252 students—the smallest enrollment in this comparison group—within the highly ranked Lake Oswego School District 7J. The Lake Oswego area is known for strong schools, and this district ranks #2 of 141 in Oregon. Palisades is a small, top-performing neighborhood school with very high achievement.

By external measures, Palisades is one of Oregon’s highest-performing elementaries. In 2025–2026 it ranked #3 of 709 Oregon elementary schools—100th percentile, 5 stars—after three years at about the 95th percentile. On 2025–2026 OSAS tests, proficiency was 85.1% in English language arts, 85.0% in math, and 77.8% in science, beating its district by about 12 points in ELA and 20 points in math and science, and beating the state by roughly 41, 52, and 47 points. Every grade-level subject line exceeds district and state averages. The only nearby school ahead of it is Westridge Elementary School (#2 in Oregon, about a mile away), which outperformed Palisades in all three all-grade subjects. Palisades otherwise leads same-district peers such as Forest Hills Elementary School and Stafford Primary School, and it far outpaces cross-district comparisons such as Riverside Elementary School and Bridgeport Elementary School.

Other data are favorable: chronic absenteeism was 8.5% in 2024–2025—less than half the district rate (18.1%) and about one-quarter the state rate (33.5%), and lower than every nearby school. Per-student spending reached $21,562 in 2024–2025, high but not the highest locally, while the student–teacher ratio (15.0) is mid-range. Subgroup results show no meaningful gender gap: female students ranked #4 and male students ranked #8 statewide, while gifted-and-talented students ranked #11 of 70 (84th percentile). Grade-level variation is worth watching: math proficiency falls from 91.9% in 3rd grade to 74.1% in 5th, and 4th-grade ELA (75.7%) is the one line where nearby schools edge past Palisades. Free/reduced-price lunch data is unavailable, so poverty context cannot be compared; this should not be read as 0% need. Bottom line: Palisades is a top-1% Oregon elementary, with its only neighborhood rival being Westridge.
