Summary

Astor Elementary School is a K–8 school in North Portland serving 413 students in Portland School District 1J, a district ranked 12th of 141 in Oregon. Astor is a strong performer: in 2025–2026 it ranked 116th of 709 Oregon elementary schools (84th percentile, 4 stars), up sharply from 435th of 705 (38th percentile, 2 stars) in 2018–2019. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates beat state averages in all three tested subjects: 54.2% in English Language Arts vs. 43.8% statewide, 49.6% in math vs. 32.9%, and 40.8% in science vs. 30.6%. Math is essentially at the district level (50.5%), while ELA and science trail the district's 57.8% and 45.1%.

Among nearby North Portland schools, Astor's rank is second only to Forest Park Elementary School, and its 84th percentile standing contrasts sharply with Rosa Parks Elementary School (2nd percentile), Cesar Chavez K-8 School (6th), James John Elementary School (32nd) and Sitton Elementary School (50th). Chronic absenteeism improved to 29.0% in 2024–2025 — better than the district's 32.5% and the state's 33.5%, and down from 37.5% — though Forest Park (14.2%) and Chief Joseph Elementary School (17.3%) are far lower. Astor spends $22,483 per student, among the lowest in its comparison group, with a student-teacher ratio of 16.1, yet still posts strong results.

Two areas are worth watching. Effectiveness for low-income students ranked in the 30th percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 50th percentile the year before, even though about 42.62% of students were reported as eligible for free/reduced-price lunch. Also, Astor's middle grades lag the district: 7th grade ELA 48.1% vs. 61.4%, 8th grade ELA 41.7% vs. 56.8% and 8th grade math 36.1% vs. 46.9%. Strengths include special education effectiveness, at the 85th percentile across three years, and strong 3rd, 5th and 6th grades.
