This school consistently ranks among the top 5% of elementary schools in the state, with exceptional test scores that significantly outpace the Portland School District 1J and the state of Oregon as a whole. With a student-teacher ratio of 19.8 and spending per student of $27,724, Ainsworth Elementary School provides its students with a well-resourced educational experience.

Ainsworth Elementary School stands out for its academic excellence, with a statewide ranking of 18th out of 710 elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently higher than the district and state averages across all grade levels. This high level of academic achievement is likely due to a combination of factors, including strong leadership, experienced and effective teachers, and a supportive community.

While Ainsworth Elementary School's performance is impressive, the low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at just 9.24%, suggests that the school serves a relatively affluent student population.

Further analysis of the broader educational landscape in the area may be necessary to understand the school's role in promoting equity and supporting the needs of all students.
