Summary

Prescott Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Portland, OR, serving 268 students in Parkrose School District 3, a district ranked 136th of 141 Oregon districts. In 2025–2026, it ranked 635th of 709 Oregon elementary schools (10th percentile, 1 star), continuing a decade generally between the 10th and 25th percentile. Within its district, it is roughly tied with Sacramento Elementary School and Shaver Elementary School at the bottom and below Russell Elementary School. Nearby Portland School District 1J schools such as Rigler Elementary School and Vestal Elementary School rank much higher, as does Menlo Park Elementary School in David Douglas School District 40; Margaret Scott Elementary School in Reynolds School District 7 ranks lower.

Academically, its 2025–2026 OSAS proficiency rates are below Oregon in all subjects: ELA 26.2% (district 28.5%, state 43.8%), math 17.8% (district 16.7%, state 32.9%), and science 18.2% (district 13.5%, state 30.6%). Math and science are relative strengths within its district but still far below state averages; ELA is weaker than both. The clearest bright spot is 5th grade—ELA 35.6% (district 32%, state 47.1%), math 15.6% (district 14.8%, state 32.4%), and science 18.2% (district 17.7%, state 30.8%)—while 4th grade ELA (20.8%) and math (16.7%) are weaker.

Chronic absenteeism is a major local concern: 40.6% in 2024–2025, above the state’s 33.5% and above same-district peers Russell Elementary School (36.2%), Sacramento Elementary School (37.5%), and Shaver Elementary School (37.6%), though below the district’s 45.5%. Per-student spending is $21,250, similar to same-district peers but lower than most nearby schools in other districts, and the student-teacher ratio of 13.5 is favorable. Reported free/reduced lunch figures exceed 100% in 2024–2025 (the school’s 132.09%), so treat that metric cautiously. Overall, this is a small school in a low-ranked district with relative strengths in math/science versus its district and in 5th grade, but pressing challenges in ELA, math versus the state, attendance, and uneven results across student groups.
