Summary

Bridger Creative Science School is a K–8 school in Portland, Oregon, serving 474 students on SE Market Street as part of Portland School District 1J. In 2025–2026 the school ranked 156th of 709 Oregon schools — the 78th percentile, with a 4-star rating — a strong statewide position that still sits below its high-performing district's overall standing. On state tests, 57.3% of students were proficient in English language arts and 50.3% in math, both above state averages and essentially level with the district. Science is the clear exception at 34.0%, roughly 11 points below the district's 45.1% — an odd gap for a school with "Creative Science" in its name. Chronic absenteeism has become a strength, falling from 36.6% to 22.3% in a single year, well below both district and state rates.

Bridger is the only K–8 school among its nearby Portland peers, which are all K–5 or PK–5, so its data include middle grades the others don't. Compared with neighbors, it trails Glencoe Elementary School (99th percentile), Richmond Elementary School (95th) and Arleta Elementary School (88th); it is roughly comparable to Atkinson Elementary School and Portland Arthur Academy Charter School, and well ahead of Vestal Elementary School, Marysville Elementary School, Clark Elementary School and Earl Boyles Elementary. Spending is $22,740 per student with a 17.4 student–teacher ratio — mid-range among neighbors and not clearly tied to results.

Bridger's long-term trajectory is one of the strongest in the data: from 611th of 701 schools (13th percentile, 1 star) in 2016–2017 to 78th percentile today. Subgroup results are uneven — special education students rank in the 82nd–88th percentile and low-income students jumped to the 83rd, while gifted and talented students sit near the 20th percentile. Seventh-grade ELA and math are bright spots, but sixth-grade ELA (46.2%) and math (39.5%) and eighth-grade math (35.6%) fall below district averages.
