Summary

Llewellyn Elementary School is a K–5 public elementary school at 6301 SE 14th Ave in southeast Portland, Oregon, serving 373 students as part of Portland School District 1J.

By statewide measures, Llewellyn is an exceptional school: in 2025-2026 it ranked 35th of 709 Oregon elementary schools — the 95th percentile, or 5 stars — and it has held a 5-star rating every year on record since 2014-2015, never dropping below the 94th percentile. Proficiency runs well ahead of both its district and the state, with 73.6% of students meeting standards in English language arts, 68.5% in math, and 55.7% in science (Portland 1J: 57.8%, 50.5%, 45.1%; Oregon: 43.8%, 32.9%, 30.6%). Llewellyn sits in a remarkably strong pocket of southeast Portland that includes Winterhaven School (first in Oregon), Rieke Elementary School (7th), Abernethy Elementary School (11th), and Duniway Elementary School (20th). Against that field Llewellyn places fifth of eleven nearby schools, which still corresponds to 35th in the entire state.

What sets Llewellyn apart most is how well its student groups perform. It ranks first in Oregon for Hispanic students in each of the last two years, 12th of 355 (97th percentile) for special education students, and near the top 2% for low-income students — evidence that its high averages are not coming from a narrow slice of the roster. A few things are worth watching: chronic absenteeism, at 21.0% in 2024-2025, beats the district (32.5%) and state (33.5%) by roughly 12 points but trails the strongest neighbors, such as Winterhaven and Duniway at 12.1%; science, at 55.7%, lands near the average of its immediate peers rather than above it; and 2025-2026 was its softest year since 2016-2017, though still within its usual range. Per-student spending of $22,368 in 2024-25 is lower than every nearby district elementary except Duniway.

Open Quote Llewellyn is overcrowded. We have about 550 kids this year. Each year since we've had our child there, the incoming classes of Kindergarteners have been huge. Temporary classrooms are being used outside of the building to house several classes. Overcrowding creates problems in nearly every area of learning, as well as the social aspect at recess. There are not enough eyes to prevent bullying out on the field. It's unfortunate that this is our current situation because the school is quite lovely with strong teachers and solid leadership.
