Summary

Milwaukie El Puente Elementary School is a K–5 school at 11250 SE 27th Ave in Milwaukie, Oregon, serving 408 students in North Clackamas School District 12. In 2025–26 it ranked 392nd of 709 Oregon elementary schools (45th percentile, 2 stars), placing it in the middle of its district and slightly below the district’s overall profile. Its English language arts proficiency is 44.2%, a touch above the state’s 43.8%, but math (29.9%) and science (27.0%) trail both district and state. Chronic absenteeism is 31.3%, improved from 42.5% two years earlier but still high compared with top local performers.

The school’s results swing sharply by grade and subject. Third-grade math (46.0%) is above both district and state, and fourth-grade ELA (52.1%) is its strongest grade-subject result. By fifth grade, however, math falls to 19.0% — 13.4 points below the state — and fifth-grade science is 27.0%. That makes upper-elementary math and science the clearest academic concern. Encouragingly, there is no meaningful difference between boys’ and girls’ rankings, and English Language Learners have been a relative bright spot, ranking in the 66th percentile in 2024–25 and the 78th percentile in 2022–23, though those groups are small and can vary year to year.

Compared with nearby schools, El Puente ranks fifth of nine North Clackamas schools shown, ahead of Oak Grove, Lewelling, Whitcomb, and Linwood, but behind Sojourner, Ardenwald, View Acres, and Cascade Heights Public Charter. Ardenwald is especially instructive: similar enrollment, student-teacher ratio, and spending, yet it ranks in the 65th percentile with higher math and science and lower absenteeism. The sharpest contrast is cross-district: Riverdale Grade School is 1.08 miles away and ranks 5th statewide (99th percentile, 5 stars), while Duniway Elementary in Portland School District 1J ranks 20th statewide (97th percentile); both report about 12% chronic absenteeism. El Puente’s per-student spending is $22,957, above several peers, although a recent large jump in reported spending may reflect accounting changes rather than new classroom resources.
