Summary

Clarkes Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 153 students in the small community of Mulino, Oregon, and is part of the Molalla River School District 35. For 2025–2026 it ranked 240th of 709 Oregon elementary schools (66th percentile, 3 stars) — a step down from the 4 stars and 86th percentile peak it reached in 2023–2024, but still far above its district, which ranks 103rd of 141 districts (27th percentile, 1 star).

On the 2025–2026 state assessments, Clarkes posted the highest all-grade English Language Arts proficiency (54.5%) and math proficiency (43.3%) of any nearby school, well ahead of the district (32.5% and 23.2%) and the state (43.8% and 32.9%). The closest local comparisons were Clackamas River Elementary School (51.8% ELA) and River Mill Elementary School (50.0% ELA, 36.4% math). Within the district, Mulino Elementary School reached 40.9% in ELA and 35.1% in math. Science is the relative weak spot at 28.0%, above the district's 19.1% but below the state's 30.6%. Early grades are strong — 3rd grade ELA hit 65.2% versus 41.5% statewide — while 5th grade ELA (44.0% vs. 47.1%) and science (28.0% vs. 30.8%) trail the state.

About 66.01% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, up sharply from 35.71% two years earlier, and in 2023–2024 the school ranked 4th of 523 Oregon schools (99th percentile) for its work with low-income students. Chronic absenteeism, at 35.9%, remains above the state's 33.5% and above most nearby schools, though it has improved from 45.4% in 2022–2023. With the smallest enrollment locally and a 15.3 student-to-teacher ratio — the lowest among nearby schools — Clarkes achieves strong results with mid-range spending of $16,595 per student.
