Summary

Margaret Scott Elementary School is a K–5 school at 14700 NE Sacramento St in Portland, Oregon, serving 361 students in Reynolds School District 7, where reported free/reduced-lunch participation has been effectively universal (around 100%) in each of the last three years.

By state rankings, Margaret Scott sits at the very bottom: 706th of 709 Oregon schools in 2025-26, the 0th percentile, with only three schools ranked below it. This is not a single bad year — ten years of history show no year above the 16th percentile. In 2025-26 testing, 12.8% of students met the standard in English language arts, 10.5% in math and 5.2% in science, against district rates of 23.7%, 12.8% and 13.7%. Math is the school's comparatively closest subject to its district; science is the widest gap. Chronic absenteeism was 43.2% in 2024-25 — about two in five students — above the state's 33.5% but slightly better than the district's 45.3%, and down from 51.0% in 2022-23.

Nearby schools show a wide range. Alder Elementary School ranks last in the state (709 of 709). The closest peer, Glenfair Elementary School, edges Margaret Scott in both ELA and math while spending less per student. Wilkes Elementary School is the strongest Reynolds neighbor, and across district lines Menlo Park Elementary School and Russell Elementary serve similar populations but post math proficiency roughly two to three times higher, with lower absenteeism. Within the school, 4th grade is the relative bright spot (14% in both ELA and math), while 5th grade drops sharply (math 6.8%, science 5.2%). Per-student spending is $21,348 in 2024-25, up from $16,830 in 2021-22, yet proficiency has stayed flat and the student-teacher ratio has risen from 13.8 to 15.2. Low-income students ranked 0th percentile among peer schools statewide in 2025-26, and special education students 22nd percentile in 2024-25, up from 4th percentile in 2017-18.
