Summary

John McLoughlin Elementary School is a K–5 school in Oregon City, OR, serving 585 students as part of Oregon City School District 62. In 2025–2026, it ranked 161st of 709 Oregon elementary schools — the 77th percentile with 4 stars — placing it slightly above its district's overall profile and making it a standout among nearby Oregon City elementary schools.

Test scores are well above district and state averages. In 2025–2026, 55.9% of students met ELA standards and 51.0% met math standards, compared with 45.5% and 33.5% districtwide and 43.8% and 32.9% statewide. That puts John McLoughlin far ahead of nearby same-district schools such as Candy Lane Elementary School, Holcomb Elementary School, and Gaffney Lane Elementary School, as well as Gladstone's John Wetten Elementary School. It does trail the nearby West Linn-Wilsonville School District 3J schools, which average about 67.1% in ELA and 57.8% in math — a much higher comparison bar. One pattern worth noting: third-grade math is a clear strength at 68.4%, but math slips to 38.1% by fifth grade, and fifth-grade science is also 38.1%.

Attendance is excellent — chronic absenteeism fell from 25.7% in 2022–2023 to 16.2% in 2024–2025, well below district and state rates and competitive with the West Linn schools. The school also spends less per student ($16,457) than nearby comparisons while posting stronger results, though its student-teacher ratio of 23.3 is relatively high. Group results are mostly strong: special education students have climbed to the 74th percentile, but low-income students have slipped from the 86th percentile in 2022–2023 to 56th in 2025–2026, an area to monitor.
