of 709 Oregon Elementary Schools

Better than 94% of Oregon elementary schools

Summary

Skyline Elementary School is a K–8 school at 11536 NW Skyline Blvd in Portland, Oregon, serving 226 students in Portland School District 1J, the state's largest district. It is a consistent top performer: in 2025–26 it ranked 43rd of 709 Oregon elementary schools (94th percentile) and has earned 5 stars in each of the last five school years. Its most striking quality is its trajectory — it climbed from 213th of 697 (69th percentile, 3 stars) in 2015–16, roughly a 25-percentile-point gain in a decade.

Skyline's proficiency comfortably exceeds its own district, which is itself a highly ranked district. In 2025–26, 72.2% of students met standards in English language arts, 71.5% in math and 64.4% in science — 14.4, 21.0 and 19.3 points above the district, and 28 to 39 points above the state. Chronic absenteeism is 17.3%, roughly half the district and state rates and down 12.5 points in a single year. Science is a relative strength: only Findley Elementary (71.4%) scores higher among nearby schools.

Comparisons close to home are revealing. Sitton Elementary School, 4.8 miles away in the same district, ranks 354th of 709 and spends $26,829 per student — $2,848 more than Skyline — with a smaller 11.7:1 class ratio, yet its math proficiency trails Skyline's by 34.6 points. Sauvie Island School, the only other K–8 nearby, enrolls a nearly identical 212 students and ranks 44th, but reports $7,713 per student. The surrounding schools are strong overall, mostly ranking in the 93rd percentile or higher and ranging from the 28th percentile (West Union Elementary School) to the 97th (Findley Elementary School) within five miles. Worth watching: a sharp 7th-to-8th grade proficiency drop (92.9% to 61.9% in ELA), 3rd grade math at 57.1% — just under the district's 57.5% — and a persistent gap between male and female student subgroup results.

My son attends Skyline Elementary, hes a bright boy and was not being challenged at the private school he previously attended. Since transferring, he is allowed to go as far as he likes, with any help he needs from caring and competant teachers. We couldn't be happier with the change, we attribute his true love of learning to the atmosphere and aid from the school and his teachers. Close Quote
