Summary:
The 97210 zip code in Portland, Oregon has only one school, Chapman Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 and is part of the Portland School District 1J. While Chapman Elementary has some standout performance in 5th-grade test scores, it faces challenges in lower elementary grades and serves a student population with a high rate of free or reduced-price lunch eligibility.
Chapman Elementary School's 5th-grade students significantly outperformed the district and state averages in both English Language Arts (74.5% vs. 59.6% and 46.9%) and Mathematics (61.7% vs. 46.8% and 31.4%). However, the school's 3rd and 4th-grade proficiency rates in these subjects were lower than the district and state averages, indicating a need to focus on improving instruction and support for students in the earlier elementary grades.
With over 64% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Chapman Elementary School serves a population with significant economic challenges. This high free/reduced lunch rate provides important context for the school's performance and may require additional resources and support to address the needs of its student population. Additionally, the school's spending of $30,514 per student is significantly higher than the state average, which could be a reflection of the school's efforts to provide a high-quality education and support for its students.
