Summary

Winterhaven School is a K–8 school in Portland School District 1J serving 322 students, and in 2025–2026 it was the top-ranked elementary school in Oregon. It placed #1 of 709 Oregon elementary schools and has been in the statewide top five for each of the last five reported years, climbing from #5 in 2021–2022 to #2 in 2024–2025 and #1 in 2025–2026. Even its weakest recent year in the data, 2018–2019, ranked #80 of 705 — still 89th percentile with 4 stars.

Test scores are the clearest differentiator. In 2025–2026, 86.5% of Winterhaven students met standards in English language arts, 88.2% in math, and 77.0% in science — well above district and state averages, and the highest among nearby schools. Its math result is 15.9 points above the next-best nearby school, Abernethy Elementary School (72.3%). Results are consistent across grades: ELA runs from 83.0% in 8th grade to 88.5% in 3rd, and 3rd and 4th grade math are both reported at at least 95%. Eighth grade outcomes (83.0% ELA, 80.9% math, 80.0% science) far outpace other nearby K–8 schools such as Portland Village School and The Cottonwood School of Civics and Science. One nuance: 5th grade science is 72.4%, slightly below Emerson School's 75.0%, while the all-grade science figure is lifted by the strong 8th grade result.

Chronic absenteeism at Winterhaven was 12.1% in 2024–2025, less than half of Portland School District 1J's 32.5% and the lowest among nearby schools. Subgroup results are broad: female and male students each ranked #2 statewide, and low-income students ranked #1 of 595 in 2022–2023. The school achieves this without unusual resources — per-student spending of $22,506 and a student–teacher ratio of 20 are moderate compared with Creston Elementary School, Grout Elementary School, and Buckman Elementary School. One caveat for parents: the reported free/reduced lunch share jumped to 41.61% in 2024–2025, which may reflect reporting or eligibility changes as much as demographics.

Lots of bullying, my child has been pretty stressed out at this school. It is great they push for success, but it would be nice to have some of the pressure taken off the students. Close Quote
