Summary

Firwood Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Sandy, Oregon, serving 456 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Oregon Trail School District 46, which is ranked 11 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Firwood Elementary consistently performs above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across grades 3-5, with 5th-grade ELA proficiency at 60.9% compared to the state average of 46.7% in the 2024-2025 school year. The school also excels in supporting diverse student populations, ranking highly for Hispanic students and Special Education students among Oregon elementary schools. While Firwood has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state, the school has shown improvement in recent years, decreasing from 39.0% in 2022-2023 to 34.3% in 2023-2024.

Compared to nearby schools in the Gresham-Barlow School District, Firwood Elementary outperforms in both ELA and Math proficiency. However, the nearby Oregon Trail Academy, a public charter school, consistently outperforms Firwood in these areas. Firwood's spending per student ($14,805 in 2022-2023) is higher than the state average, which may contribute to the school's strong academic performance, though its relatively high student-teacher ratio of 20.2 in 2023-2024 could be an area for improvement.
