Summary

Candy Lane Elementary School is a K–5 school in Milwaukie, Oregon (Clackamas County) serving 363 students as part of Oregon City School District 62. For 2025–26 it ranked 486th of 709 Oregon elementary schools (31st percentile, 2 stars), well below its district's own standing of 35th of 141 districts statewide with 4 stars. After a long slide that bottomed out between the 22nd and 29th percentile from 2016–17 through 2023–24, the school has posted two consecutive years of improvement, returning to 2 stars.

Science is Candy Lane's clearest strength: 33.9% proficiency beats both the district (32.5%) and the state (30.6%), and it is the only subject where the school outperforms its own district. Attendance is a consistent, multi-year strength — chronic absenteeism of 21.5% beats the district's 29.6% and the state's 33.5%, and outperforms nearly every nearby school, including Holcomb Elementary School (33.3%), Riverside Elementary School (31.6%), and View Acres Elementary School (22.9%). Fifth-grade English language arts (48.3%) also exceeds the state average, and nearly every student subgroup improved in 2025–26.

The challenges are concentrated in math and grade 4. Math trails the district and state at every grade level — 28.4% in 3rd grade, 25.4% in both 4th and 5th — and 4th-grade ELA (22.6%) sits roughly 21 points below both. Fifth grade, by contrast, is the school's strongest cohort. Candy Lane's student/teacher ratio of 28.3 is the highest of any comparison school by a wide margin, nearly double Gladstone Center for Children and Families (14.1) and well above Cedaroak Park Primary School (16.0). Poverty also climbed sharply, from 40.73% to 54.55% in a single year, even as the school's ranking improved.
