Summary

Rockwood Preparatory Academy is a K–5 public elementary school at 740 SE 182nd Ave in Portland, Oregon, serving 397 students as part of Reynolds School District 7, a district that ranks near the bottom of Oregon's 141 districts. It sits in an unusually dense cluster of schools: five other Reynolds elementaries are within about 1.6 miles, and four more from Centennial School District 28J and Gresham-Barlow School District 10J are within roughly 1.7 miles, giving families ten nearby schools to compare.

In 2025–2026 Rockwood Prep ranked 657th of 709 Oregon elementary schools (7th percentile, 0 stars), with proficiency of 28.8% in English language arts, 11.0% in math, and 12.8% in science. Reading is the school's relative strength: its 28.8% ELA rate is the highest among its Reynolds peers, including Davis Elementary School (17.3%), Glenfair Elementary School (16.3%), Hartley Elementary School (14.7%), Salish Ponds Elementary School (13.1%), and Alder Elementary School (9.5%), and it is 5.1 points above the district average (23.7%) — though still far below the state's 43.8%. Math is the weak spot, below the district (12.8%) and lower than every nearby school except Alder and Salish Ponds. The 17.8-point gap between reading and math is the widest in the comparison group. Attendance is a genuine bright spot: 30.6% chronic absenteeism is 14.7 points below the district (45.3%) and 2.9 points below the state (33.5%), and it has improved from 39.3% in 2022–23.

Rockwood accomplishes this with far fewer resources: $6,722 per student in 2024–25, versus roughly $19,500–$24,800 at nearby schools, and the highest student–teacher ratio locally at 19.9:1 (down from 29.8:1 in 2022–23). Parklane Elementary School, with the same 397 enrollment, spends $24,015 per student. Two trends deserve attention: the school's state ranking has slid from a 32nd-percentile peak in 2021–22 to 7th, and its earlier standout results for low-income students (79th percentile in 2023–24) and English learners (55th that year) have dropped to 30th and 15th. The clearest next steps are math instruction and rebuilding support for student groups, especially since attendance has already improved.

The DI curriculum is amazing and the staff is the best. They care about the student's and their families. I have worked at RPA/Knova for years and plan to continue working there. We also are a uniform school, no bully policy, lot's of events for the children Close Quote

My daughter has been going to this school since Kindergarten and is about to finish 1st grade. I love the fact that this school has a longer school year, as this has proven the retension rate of the students. Also, they regularly test the students to make sure they are conitnually being challanged. For example, they worked with my daughter on her reading due to a learning disability and she will be finishing 1st Grade reading with her classmates, while in Math she is doing 3rd grade level!! This school works with a lot of children that come from a hard background (homeless, etc.) and these children receive a lot attention and support where they may not otherwise. :) I'm absolutely happy that my daughter came here and am very sad that she won't be continuing there due to our move abroad. So, whatever the stats say, this school was the best for my daughter. Close Quote
