Summary

Clark Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Portland, Oregon, serving 340 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Portland School District 1J, which is ranked 13th out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Clark Elementary School has some areas of strength, it faces significant challenges in academic performance.

For example, in 2024-2025, only 19.3% of 3rd graders, 17.9% of 4th graders, and 31.6% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district's 55.4%, 58.8%, and 59.5%, respectively. The school's performance in Mathematics is also below the district and state, with only 29.1% of 3rd graders, 8.9% of 4th graders, and 22.8% of 5th graders being proficient or better in 2024-2025.

When compared to other nearby schools in the same district, Clark Elementary School generally performs worse academically.

However, Clark Elementary School performs better than some other nearby schools in the David Douglas School District, such as West Powellhurst Elementary and Earl Boyles Elementary, which have lower academic performance overall.
