Summary

Lewelling Elementary School is a public elementary school in Milwaukie, Oregon, serving 289 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the North Clackamas School District, which is ranked 54 out of 140 districts in the state.

Lewelling Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with significantly lower academic performance than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 28.3% of 3rd graders, 29.2% of 4th graders, and 48.9% of 5th graders at Lewelling Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 42.9%, 44.8%, and 50.9% for the district, and 40.3%, 42.1%, and 46.7% for the state. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.1% to 38.1% over the past few years, which is well above the district and state averages.

When compared to other elementary schools in the area, Lewelling Elementary performs significantly worse than nearby schools like Ardenwald Elementary and Linwood Elementary, which have higher academic achievement and lower chronic absenteeism rates. The school's challenges may be influenced by its high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and the significant Hispanic student population, but addressing these issues through targeted interventions and support could be crucial for improving student outcomes at Lewelling Elementary.
