Summary

Glenfair Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 489 students in East Portland near the Gresham border, part of Reynolds School District 7. It enrolls the most students of any of the eleven elementary schools in its comparison group — more than Wilkes Elementary School, Lincoln Park Elementary School, and Rockwood Preparatory Academy. Economic need is effectively universal: free/reduced-price lunch participation has run at or above 99.5% in recent years.

By statewide measures, Glenfair sits near the bottom. It ranked 694 of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2025–26 (2nd percentile, 0 stars), and across ten reported years it has never left the bottom tenth of the state. On 2025–26 state tests, 16.3% of students met standards in English language arts, 11.3% in math, and under 5% in science — below Reynolds School District 7 on every subject and far under Oregon's 43.8%, 32.9%, and 30.6%. Chronic absenteeism is 45.8%, the highest of all eleven nearby schools and well above the state's 33.5%; it had improved to 40.2% in 2023–24 before slipping back. ELA results climb from 3rd to 5th grade (12.7% to 18.8%), while 5th-grade math and science fall to under 5%, suggesting the upper grades are where the school loses ground.

Glenfair carries the largest enrollment on the lowest per-pupil spending ($19,546) of any traditional public elementary nearby — yet spending alone does not explain the differences in the group. Russell Elementary, 1.64 miles away in Parkrose School District 3, spends almost the same amount ($20,049) and posts roughly 2.6 times Glenfair's math proficiency (29.9% vs. 11.3%). Menlo Park Elementary School spends the most ($27,874) and gets the group's best results, while Alder Elementary School spends more and ranks last in Oregon. The clearest bright spot in Glenfair's own record is its results for African American students, which reached 1st of 13 schools (5 stars) in 2023–24 but have been uneven since.

Glenfair Elementary is an embarrassment to Oregon school and a waist of tax dollars. My son was a victim, bullied by a couple male staff members. This school is nightmare with no accountability I urge you to report any and all of your concerns to the school board. Close Quote
