Summary

Atkinson Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 372 students at 5800 SE Division St in inner-southeast Portland, part of Portland School District 1J. Its district is among Oregon's strongest (12th of 141 districts), and Atkinson Elementary School itself ranks 123rd of 709 elementary schools for 2025–26 — the 83rd percentile, 4 stars. In 2025–26, 57.2% of students met standards in English language arts, 55.8% in math, and 45.0% in science, versus statewide rates of 43.8%, 32.9%, and 30.6%.

Among its neighbors, the picture is more nuanced. Within about 1.7 miles, ten comparable schools span Glencoe Elementary School at the 99th percentile to Marysville Elementary School at the 21st. Atkinson outperforms Marysville by 23.4 points in ELA and beats the state in every subject, but sits below the median of nearby peers in ELA (57.2%) and science (45.0%) while roughly matching them in math. Grade 3 math is a bright spot at 65.5%, 8 points above district; Grade 5 ELA is the soft spot at 50.0% versus the district's 62.4%. Science is relatively weakest — nearby Creston Elementary School reaches 71.1%.

Chronic absenteeism is the clearest outlier: 29.2% in 2024–25, better than the district (32.5%) and state (33.5%) and down 5.3 points, but roughly double Glencoe (16.5%), Richmond Elementary School (15.1%), and Woodstock Elementary School (14.4%), which also out-score it. Subgroup results are strong for students with disabilities (89th percentile) and low-income students (88th) — both above the school's overall rank — while gifted-and-talented results are the weakest reported group at the 16th percentile, 1 star. Atkinson spends $23,256 per student, about the neighborhood norm. Bottom line: solidly above state average, strongest in early math and support for higher-need students, with its biggest opportunities in attendance, Grade 5, and science.
