Summary

Beach Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 1710 N Humboldt St in Portland, Oregon, serving 295 students in Portland School District 1J, itself one of Oregon's strongest districts. Beach is a 4-star school, ranked 143rd of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2025-2026 — the 80th percentile, or the top fifth statewide. Its trajectory is the headline: a decade ago it was a 2-star school at the 49th percentile, and it has since climbed to a stable 78th–80th percentile plateau across four straight years.

On 2025-2026 state tests, 56.8% of Beach students met standards in English language arts (state: 43.8%), 48.9% in math (state: 32.9%) and 48.9% in science (state: 30.6%). That is well above the state but roughly level with the district — the profile of a typical Portland 1J school rather than an outlier. Among 11 nearby schools, Beach ranks 3rd on ELA, math and overall, behind only Irvington Elementary School and Chief Joseph Elementary School. Attendance is a real strength: chronic absenteeism is 23.6%, about nine to ten points better than the district (32.5%) and state (33.5%), and better than seven of the ten nearby district schools. Less than a mile away, Boise-Eliot Elementary School — similar enrollment, slightly higher per-student spending — posts 25.0% ELA proficiency and 56.9% chronic absenteeism, showing how much nearby schools can differ.

Where Beach is weaker: third and fourth graders score below district averages in both reading and math, and math proficiency slips as students move up (53.8% in 3rd grade to 47.7% in 5th). Fifth-grade ELA is the standout at 68.2%, 5.8 points above the district. Results for low-income students have fallen over three years, from the 53rd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 18th percentile in 2025-2026, though a change in how free/reduced-lunch data is reported makes that trend hard to read. Special education results have improved markedly, and the school spends $25,278 per student with a 14.9-to-1 student-teacher ratio, improved from 17.6-to-1.
