Both sit well inside the top 2% of Oregon schools, but Le Monde's overall rating of 9.5/10 edges out Llewellyn's 9.3/10, a gap that, while small in absolute terms, reflects a consistent performance edge across multiple scoring categories.

On academics and growth, the two schools run nearly in lockstep. Both Llewellyn Elementary School and Le Monde French Immersion Public Charter School score 9.9/10 on academic proficiency. Growth scores are similarly close — Le Monde at 9.1/10 versus Llewellyn's 9.0/10. Parents weighing raw test outcomes and learning trajectory will find little to differentiate the two; the ranking gap owes more to other composite factors than to a decisive academic separation.

Class size is where a clearer structural difference emerges.

With enrollment figures that are comparable (393 students at Llewellyn versus 378 at Le Monde), the ratio difference points to Le Monde staffing more heavily relative to its student body, which typically translates to more individual attention per child.
