Summary

Woodmere Elementary School is a public elementary school in Portland, Oregon, serving 248 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Portland School District 1J, which is ranked 13th out of 140 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the district's strong performance, Woodmere Elementary School consistently lags behind in academic achievement. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 20% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 55.4% for the district and 40.3% for the state. Similarly, just 8.8% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, far below the district's 48.7% and the state's 31.3%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, at 34.3% in the 2023-2024 school year, much higher than the district and state averages.

Woodmere's performance is significantly lower than that of nearby schools, such as Woodstock Elementary, Lewis Elementary, and Creston Elementary, all of which have higher test scores and rankings. Despite the school's relatively high spending of $26,857 per student, compared to the district average of $20,802, Woodmere's academic performance remains a concern, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and strategies to address these challenges and improve student outcomes.
