Summary

Sweetbriar Elementary School is a K–5 public school in Troutdale, Oregon, serving 262 students within Reynolds School District 7, a district that ranks near the bottom statewide (131st of 141 districts, 7th percentile), while Sweetbriar itself ranked 457th of 709 Oregon elementary schools — 36th percentile, 2 stars — in 2025–2026.

Academically, English language arts is the school's strongest area. Sweetbriar's all-grade ELA proficiency of 43.0% is essentially at the state average of 43.8% and far above the district's 23.7%, with third-grade ELA at 43.9% versus 41.5% statewide. Among nearby schools, only Gresham Arthur Academy (75.3%) and Reynolds Arthur Academy (59.3%) score higher in ELA. Math is weaker: 26.4% proficient versus 32.9% statewide, but still more than double the district's 12.8%. Fifth-grade math is a clear concern at 13.2% proficient compared with 32.4% statewide. Science is the weakest subject, with 17.9% proficiency against 30.6% statewide, ranking 7th of 11 nearby schools — behind Troutdale Elementary (23.7%) and Powell Valley Elementary (19.6%).

Chronic absenteeism is a relative bright spot: 25.2% in 2024–2025, well below the district's 45.3% and the state's 33.5%, and lower than every nearby school except the two Arthur academies. Sweetbriar spends $21,330 per student — second-highest among nearby schools — with a student-teacher ratio of 16.3. Effectiveness varies across student groups: rankings are notably strong for low-income students (74th percentile in 2025–2026) and were 72nd percentile for special education students in 2023–2024, while gifted and talented rankings are low. The long-term trend shows real improvement from the 25th–29th percentile in 2016–2018 to the mid-40s by 2021–2022, followed by recent slippage to 36th percentile in 2025–2026.
