Summary

Arleta Elementary School is a K–5 school in Portland, Oregon, serving 252 students as part of Portland School District 1J, a highly rated district that ranks 12th out of 141 in Oregon. Arleta itself has climbed into the top tier of Oregon elementary schools: in 2025–2026 it ranked 86th out of 709 elementary schools statewide, placing in the 88th percentile with 4 stars. That is a meaningful upward shift rather than a one-year fluctuation — earlier rankings from 2014–2015 through 2018–2019 generally sat in the 51st–64th percentile with 3 stars, while since 2021–2022 the school has mostly operated in the 72nd–88th percentile.

Academically, Arleta outperforms both its district and the state. In the latest OSAS results, 61.0% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (vs. 57.8% district, 43.8% state), 56.4% in math (vs. 50.5% district, 32.9% state), and 57.4% in science (vs. 45.1% district, 30.6% state). Science is a relative standout: Arleta's 57.4% is third among nearby schools, ahead of Woodstock Elementary School, Lewis Elementary School, and Atkinson Elementary School, and more than 26 points above the state. Among nearby Portland schools, Arleta ranks fifth, behind Richmond Elementary School, Woodstock, Creston Elementary School, and Lewis, but clearly ahead of Atkinson and far ahead of Lent Elementary School, Whitman Elementary School, Woodmere Elementary School, Kelly Elementary School, and Marysville Elementary School.

Chronic absenteeism is 29.9%, better than the district's 32.5% and the state's 33.5%, but noticeably higher than Woodstock (14.4%), Richmond (15.1%), Lewis (20.1%), and Creston (22.8%) — a plausible next lever, since academics are already strong. The school is especially effective with Special Education Students, ranking 18th out of 355 (95th percentile, 5 stars) in 2025–2026. Low Socio Economic Status Students peaked at the 97th percentile in 2022–2023 and more recently ranked in the 64th percentile with 3 stars. Gifted and Talented Students (31st percentile, 2 stars) and Multi-racial Students (49th percentile, 3 stars) are relatively less distinguished — these are effectiveness rankings for the school's service to those groups, not judgments about the students themselves. Per-student spending was $25,067, with a student–teacher ratio of 15.3.
