Summary

Lent Elementary School is a K–5 school in southeast Portland, Oregon, serving 256 students in Portland School District 1J, one of Oregon's higher-ranked districts (12th of 141, 91st percentile, 5 stars).

Lent is a turnaround story that has stabilized. From 2014–2015 through 2018–2019, it sat near the bottom of Oregon elementary schools, generally between the 2nd and 8th percentile. It climbed to the 20th percentile in 2022–2023, then to the 57th–62nd percentile in 2023–2024 through 2025–2026, where it is now ranked 272nd of 709 Oregon elementary schools—62nd percentile, 3 stars. Among 11 nearby schools, only Arleta Elementary School (88th percentile, 4 stars) and Cherry Park Elementary School (68th, 3 stars) rank higher, and Lent outperforms Whitman Elementary School, Woodmere Elementary School, Kelly Elementary School, Marysville Elementary School, Gilbert Heights Elementary School, Gilbert Park Elementary School, Earl Boyles Elementary, and West Powellhurst Elementary School on overall rank.

Academically, Lent's 2025–2026 proficiency rates were above Oregon averages in ELA (51.1%) and math (40.0%) but below its district's in all three tested subjects. Science is the largest gap: 27.8% at Lent versus 45.1% districtwide and 30.6% statewide. Science is tested only in 5th grade, the school's clearest pressure point—5th grade is below state in ELA, math, and science, while 3rd and 4th grade results are relatively solid. Attendance is a standout strength: chronic absenteeism was 27.2% in 2024–25, below district (32.5%) and state (33.5%) and the lowest among nearby schools. Subgroup rankings, which measure how well the school serves particular groups, show strong recent results for Hispanic, White, and low-socioeconomic-status students and a sharp jump for English language learners (mid-20s to 77th percentile), though small group sizes make these volatile; gifted-and-talented effectiveness is lower at 47th percentile. With $28,500 per student and a 13.5 student–teacher ratio, resources aren't the obvious limiting factor, and the 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch figure above 100% is a reporting anomaly that shouldn't be read literally.

What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, January 10, 2012

An overpaid principal equals low quality education. Scores continue to drop for most students at the school. Little to no parent involvement, those that do are treated poorly. Serious bullying and drug use is rampant at the school. Little children are routinely subjected to inappropriate language and behavior. Close Quote
