Summary

Beach Elementary School is a public elementary school in Portland, Oregon, serving 325 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Portland School District 1J, which is ranked 13 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Beach Elementary School consistently ranks in the top 25% of Oregon elementary schools, with strong academic performance on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's White and Gifted and Talented student subgroups perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 5% and top 25% of Oregon elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's performance for its African American and Special Education student subgroups is relatively lower, ranking in the bottom 50% of Oregon elementary schools. Additionally, Beach Elementary School has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.9% to 38.1% in recent years, which is higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools in the Portland School District 1J, such as Peninsula Elementary and Sabin Elementary, Beach Elementary School generally outperforms them on state assessments. However, Beach Elementary School has a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may present additional challenges in supporting student learning and development. Addressing chronic absenteeism appears to be a common challenge faced by schools in the district.
