Summary

Rigler Elementary School is a K–5 school in Portland, Oregon, serving 303 students as part of Portland School District 1J, and it has climbed from the bottom 0th–6th percentile statewide a decade ago to 56th percentile (3 stars) in 2025–2026. The district is highly rated—12th of 141 in Oregon—so Rigler is improving quickly but still below its district overall.

In 2025–2026 OSAS tests, Rigler’s all-grade proficiency was 45.7% in English Language Arts, 42.2% in math, and 23.1% in science. That is above state averages in ELA (43.8%) and math (32.9%), but below the state in science (30.6%) and below district averages in all three subjects. Compared with nearby schools, Rigler beats Scott Elementary School in ELA and math but trails in science; Rose City Park leads in all three subjects, and Alameda Elementary School, Beverly Cleary School, and Laurelhurst Elementary School score far higher. Third grade is a bright spot at 57.6% proficient in both ELA and math, but by fifth grade proficiency falls to 34.2% ELA, 26.3% math, and 23.1% science—below district and state.

Chronic absenteeism was 27.5% in 2024–2025, better than the district and state but much higher than top nearby schools such as Alameda Elementary School, Beverly Cleary School, Laurelhurst Elementary School, and Rose City Park. Rigler spends $26,435 per student and has a 14.0 student–teacher ratio, with smaller enrollment than many neighbors, yet outcomes remain mixed. Effectiveness varies widely by student group: English Language Learner students rose to the 72nd percentile in 2025–2026, while low-socioeconomic-status students ranked near the bottom statewide. The main challenges are low science proficiency, an upper-grade slide, and uneven results across student populations, but the school’s recent upward trend is a clear strength.

This is the best little school in N.E. My family has been attending this school for the past 100 years. We have to keep it open because of all the diverse families who live the area. The teachers are doing a fantastic job with what they have. Close Quote
