Summary:

ZIP code 97239 is home to exactly one elementary school: Portland Village School, a K–8 campus serving 408 students as part of Portland School District 1J. Because there is only one school in the area, there are no in-ZIP comparisons to draw — the useful benchmarks are the district and the state.

The school's all-grade proficiency in 2025–2026 sits above the state but below its own district in every core subject: 48.9% in English Language Arts (state 43.8%, district 57.8%), 43.2% in math (state 32.9%, district 50.5%), and 38.1% in science (state 30.6%, district 45.1%). Those averages hide large grade-level swings. Seventh-grade ELA (62.9%) and eighth-grade math (61.4%) beat both the district and the state, with eighth-grade math an especially strong 31.4 points above the state. Early grades are the weak spot: third-grade ELA is 34% proficient and fourth-grade math is 29.3%, both below the state average and well below the district.

Statewide, the school ranked 276 of 709 in 2025–2026 — the 61st percentile with 3 stars — after 193 of 710 (4 stars) in 2023–2024 and 330 of 706 in 2024–2025, so the latest year is a partial rebound from a dip. Its district ranks 12th of 141 statewide. Chronic absenteeism is 36.5%, higher than both the district's 32.5% and the state's 33.5%. Per-student spending is $12,228 and the student-teacher ratio is 15.9.
