Summary

Hartley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Portland, Oregon, serving 313 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Reynolds School District 7, which is ranked 133 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hartley Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Oregon elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 603 and 705 out of around 700 schools. The school has received a 0-star or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is one of the lowest-performing schools in the state. This is largely due to the school's extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.3% to 50.9% in recent years, as well as its students' significantly below-average performance on standardized tests. For example, in 2024-2025, only 20% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 40.3% statewide, and only 5.6% of 5th graders met math standards.

While the nearby Woodland Elementary and Glenfair Elementary schools in the Reynolds School District also struggle with low academic achievement and high chronic absenteeism, schools in the neighboring Centennial School District, such as Patrick Lynch Elementary, tend to outperform the Reynolds District schools. Additionally, Hartley Elementary spends significantly more per student ($23,352 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average, yet this additional funding does not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes.
