Summary:
The 97214 zip code area of Portland, Oregon is home to 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 middle school, all part of the Portland School District 1J. This district is ranked 13th out of 140 districts in Oregon and is rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Among the schools in this area, a few stand out as particularly high-performing. Le Monde French Immersion Public Charter School consistently ranks among the top 3-10 elementary schools in the state, with 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger and significantly higher test scores than the district and state averages. Abernethy Elementary School and Richmond Elementary School are also high performers, ranking in the top 50 elementary schools in Oregon with excellent test scores.
However, the data also reveals some areas of concern, such as high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools in the 97214 zip code, ranging from 34.3%. Additionally, the wide range in free/reduced lunch rates, from 13.22% at Richmond Elementary to 65.23% at Buckman Elementary, indicates significant socioeconomic diversity within the area. While the top-performing schools are able to achieve exceptional results despite serving diverse student populations, addressing attendance issues and tailoring approaches to meet the needs of all students could be areas for improvement across the district.
