Summary

Willamette Primary School is a PK–5 elementary school serving 384 students in West Linn, Oregon, part of the West Linn-Wilsonville School District 3J, which ranks 7th of 141 Oregon districts. For 2025–2026, the school ranks 84th of 709 Oregon elementary schools — the 88th percentile, with 4 stars.

Within its own high-performing district, Willamette sits mid-pack. Cedaroak Park Primary School and Stafford Primary School post higher proficiency in reading, math, and science, while Willamette is close to Sunset Primary School and Trillium Creek Primary School in most subjects. Its clearest advantage is attendance: chronic absenteeism of 13.0% in 2024–2025 is lower than every nearby school and well below the district's 25.9% and the state's 33.5%. Its free/reduced lunch rate, 44.27%, has climbed sharply from 16.9% two years earlier and now matches Cedaroak Park and Sunset — though Cedaroak Park earns higher test scores at a similar rate. Spending is high at $19,899 per student, above most peers except Bolton Primary School.

Academically, Willamette is above district and state averages in all three tested subjects: ELA 66.3%, math 57.3%, and science 46.3%. Math is strong in grades 4 and 5, but 3rd grade math (49.1%) falls below the district's 53.9%. Science is above the state's 30.6% yet trails Cedaroak Park, Stafford, and Bolton. The school also outperforms nearby Gladstone and Oregon City schools such as John McLoughlin Elementary School. Overall, Willamette Primary School is a strong, above-average choice with exceptional attendance.
