Summary

Woodmere Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 241 students in southeast Portland, Oregon, part of Portland School District 1J. While the district is one of Oregon's strongest — ranked 12th of 141 with a 5-star rating — Woodmere itself ranks 463rd of 709 elementary schools statewide (35th percentile, 2 stars), placing it in the bottom third of the state. Its current trajectory is notable: 2025–26 is the school's best showing in nine years and its largest single-year gain on record, rising from the 17th to the 35th percentile.

Location matters here. Within roughly two miles, families have very different results available: Woodstock Elementary School and Lewis Elementary School both report ELA proficiency near 70%, about 40 points above Woodmere's 30.2%. Math is Woodmere's weakest subject at 28.3%, below the state average of 32.9%. Science, however, is a real strength — 36.4%, above the state's 30.6% and far above nearby Kelly Elementary School (19.6%) and Marysville Elementary School (11.1%). Fourth grade is the clearest trouble spot, with 11.4% math and 20.0% ELA proficiency — the lowest fourth-grade results among the compared schools, and well below Woodmere's own third and fifth grades. Attendance is the biggest addressable obstacle: 43.4% of students were chronically absent in 2024–25, about 10 points above district and state averages, while the highest-performing nearby schools, Woodstock (14.4%) and Lewis (20.1%), have the lowest absenteeism.

More money and smaller classes are already in place: Woodmere spends $28,478 per student and has a student–teacher ratio of 12.2 — the smallest in the comparison group, tied with Whitman Elementary School — which is more per student than Woodstock or Lewis. The likeliest levers are therefore attendance, fourth-grade instruction, and consistency across student groups: male students rose from the 21st to the 44th percentile last year and low-income students from the 12th to the 31st, while female students remain lower at the 24th. Grade-level cohorts are small (roughly 70–80 students), so single-grade figures can swing year to year; the multi-year trend is the more reliable signal.
