Better than 13% of Oregon elementary schools

Summary

Linwood Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Milwaukie, Oregon, serving 244 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the North Clackamas School District, which is ranked 54 out of 140 school districts in the state.

Despite being part of the North Clackamas School District, Linwood Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's student proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 20.5% of 3rd graders, 24% of 4th graders, and 46.2% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district averages of 42.9%, 44.8%, and 50.9%, respectively. Linwood Elementary School's student subgroups, such as female, male, Hispanic, and white students, as well as English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, all perform significantly below their peers at the state level.

Interestingly, Sojourner School, a public charter school within the North Clackamas School District, stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Oregon elementary schools and maintaining a 4- or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Sojourner School's student proficiency rates in ELA, Mathematics, and Science are significantly higher than Linwood Elementary School and the district averages. The low performance and high chronic absenteeism rates at Linwood Elementary School may be related to the school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and English Language Learners, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to its challenges.
