Summary

Spring Mountain Elementary School is a K–5 school in Happy Valley, Oregon, serving about 350 students as part of North Clackamas School District 12, making it smaller than most nearby same-district elementary schools, which enroll roughly 400 to 568 students. It currently ranks 155th of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 78th percentile with 4 stars — stronger than its district overall, which ranks 48th of 141 districts statewide (66th percentile, 3 stars). The school has stayed consistently above average in recent years and has rebounded from a pandemic-era dip, though it remains below its earlier peak in the mid-2010s.

Academically, Spring Mountain outperforms both its district and the state in every tested OSAS subject for 2025–2026: 54.5% proficiency in English language arts versus 44.8% district and 43.8% state, 52.4% in math versus 32.9% for both, and 37.9% in science versus 29.4% district and 30.6% state. Math is the standout — 19.5 percentage points above both the district and state. Among same-district nearby schools, it trails only Happy Valley Elementary School (85th) and Scouters Mountain Elementary (135th) overall, and it outranks Oregon Trail Elementary School, Beatrice Morrow Cannady Elementary, Mount Scott Elementary School, Verne A Duncan Elementary School, Sunnyside Elementary School, and Whitcomb Elementary School. It also scores far above nearby schools outside the district, Gilbert Park Elementary School and Kelly Elementary School.

The school serves a rising low-income population — its free or reduced-price lunch rate climbed from 40.92% in 2022–2023 to 58.29% in 2024–2025 — yet it ranks 57th of 521 (89th percentile) for low-income students and 80th of 355 (77th percentile) for special education students, a strong effectiveness signal. Chronic absenteeism was 25.8% in 2024–2025, better than the district's 30.5% and the state's 33.5%, but mid-pack among nearby peers, with Happy Valley at 14.9% and Scouters Mountain at 19.6%. Per-student spending of $22,950 and a 17.3 student–teacher ratio are more favorable than at Happy Valley and Scouters Mountain, which rank higher overall, suggesting resources alone don't explain results. Science is above average but lower than the school's ELA and math, and could be a natural next focus.

Open Quote Great school, awesome staff!
The building is pretty new, and had been kept up well.
The technology available to the kids is fantastic.
Staff really seems to care and know the students / parents right down to the front office staff who know you by sight when you walk in. Very active and robust PTA. Close Quote
