Summary

Lewelling Elementary School is a K–5 neighborhood school at 5325 SE Logus Rd in Milwaukie, Oregon, serving 282 students as part of the North Clackamas School District 12, and it is one of the smaller elementaries in its immediate area — roughly two-thirds the size of larger neighbors like Whitcomb Elementary School (415 students) and Milwaukie El Puente Elementary School (408).

Academically, Lewelling sits below both its district and the state, ranking 552nd of 709 Oregon schools (22nd percentile, 1 star) — a rating it has held for four consecutive reported years. About 33.8% of students are proficient in English Language Arts and 15.4% in math, against state benchmarks of 43.8% and 32.9%. Math is the defining weakness: the school has the widest ELA-over-math gap (18.4 points) in its cluster, and math proficiency actually falls as students move up (17.3% in 3rd grade to 13.0% in 5th), while ELA climbs (21.2% to 48.9%, edging out the district and state in 5th grade). Science is the one clear bright spot, at 31.8% — above both the district (29.4%) and state (30.6%).

Comparisons to nearby schools are revealing. Linwood Elementary School (12.1% math) is the only nearby school with lower math proficiency, while Cascade Heights Public Charter School, Ardenwald Elementary School, and Sojourner School all beat the district math average, and Duniway Elementary School ranks 20th of 709. Chronic absenteeism (32.0%) is better than the state (33.5%) and has improved sharply from 49.1% in 2022–23. Spending is $23,753 per student with a 17.8:1 student–teacher ratio — more spending and smaller classes than higher-performing neighbors like Sojourner and Duniway, which suggests resources are not the main issue. One concern: special education students rank in the 2nd percentile (347 of 355), down from 37th two years earlier.
