Summary

Hartley Elementary School is a K–5 school of about 310 students in the Rockwood/Fairview area of Portland (97230), part of Reynolds School District 7. Statewide it ranks 701st of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2025-2026 (1st percentile, 0 stars), and the history shows this is a long pattern rather than a single bad year: across ten reporting years, Hartley's best result was the 14th percentile in 2018-19, with every other year landing between the 1st and 6th percentile.

On 2025-2026 state tests, 14.7% of Hartley students met the ELA standard, 11.5% met math, and science results were suppressed at under 5%. For comparison, the Reynolds School District 7 averages are 23.7% in ELA and 12.8% in math, and Oregon's are 43.8% and 32.9%. Reading is the sharper gap: third-grade ELA is 10.9%, against 41.5% statewide, and math slides from 14.5% in third grade to 12.5% in fourth to 8.3% in fifth. Among nearby schools, Glenfair Elementary School posts nearly identical results (16.3% ELA, 11.3% math, science under 5%) while spending $19,546 per student — $3,561 less than Hartley's $23,107. Stronger local results appear at Patrick Lynch Elementary (29.8% ELA, 22.2% math) and North Gresham Elementary School (19.1% math), while Alder Elementary School ranks lowest of all (9.5% ELA, math under 5%).

Chronic absenteeism is 45.1% — 11 to 12 points above the state's 33.5%, but essentially equal to the district's 45.3% and better than Davis Elementary School (49.8%) and Salish Ponds Elementary School (48.4%). Resources are comparatively favorable: 13.7 students per teacher is the third-lowest ratio among neighbors, alongside the above-median spending noted above. The most encouraging evidence remains 2018-19, when Hartley reached the 14th percentile overall, with English Language Learner students at the 70th percentile and special education students at the 72nd percentile statewide.
