Summary:
The Gresham-Barlow School District 10J in Oregon is home to 12 diverse elementary schools, serving students from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds. While the schools vary in size, from 167 students at Gresham Arthur Academy to 559 students at North Gresham Elementary School, a few standout performers emerge from the data.
Deep Creek - Damascus K-8 School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with exceptional proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. Similarly, Gresham Arthur Academy, a public charter school, also performs exceptionally well, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science for 5th grade. East Orient Elementary School also stands out, ranking in the top 3 within the district and demonstrating strong proficiency rates, particularly in English Language Arts.
The data reveals significant diversity in the district, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 26.44% at East Orient Elementary to 99.09% at Lewis and Clark Montessori Charter School. While per-student spending varies, the highest-performing schools do not necessarily have the highest spending, suggesting that factors beyond funding, such as school leadership and teaching quality, may play a significant role in student outcomes.
