Summary

Sandy Grade School is a K–5 public elementary school serving about 327 students in Sandy, Oregon, part of Oregon Trail School District 46, which ranks 15th of 141 districts in the state.

Academically, Sandy is strong and clearly improving. It ranks 159th of 709 Oregon elementary schools for 2025–2026 — the 78th percentile with 4 stars — and has risen for four straight reported years, from the 33rd percentile in 2021–2022 back to near its 2017–2018 high. Among the nearby schools compared here, only Oregon Trail Academy ranks higher. Math is the standout: 52.5% of students are proficient, roughly 10.6 points above the district and 19.6 points above the state, and second only to Oregon Trail Academy nearby. Science (36.4%) and English language arts (54.9%) also exceed district and state averages. A few nearby schools, such as Firwood Elementary School, score higher in all-grade ELA, and 4th grade ELA (50.9%) is above the state but below the district — something to watch.

Sandy also stands out for its effectiveness with lower-income students, whose rankings have placed in the top 5–13% of the state in recent years, and with Hispanic students. Its clearest internal gap is special education, which has ranked in the bottom quartile (26th percentile, 1 star) in the two most recent reported years. Chronic absenteeism, at 26.8%, is below the district (32.3%) and state (33.5%), though Oregon Trail Academy (15.6%) and Firwood Elementary School (23.7%) do better. The school serves a moderate-to-high poverty population (66.97% free/reduced lunch), spends $18,232 per student, and has a 16.7:1 student-teacher ratio — the second most favorable among nearby schools. Compared with higher-poverty Gresham-Barlow School District 10J schools that spend similar amounts with larger classes, Sandy's results are notably stronger.
