Astor Elementary School

Astor Elementary School serves 375 students across grades K–8 in Portland, Oregon. It earns a composite score of 9.3 out of 10 — labeled Exceptional — built on an academic score of 8.9 and a growth score of 9.6. That growth figure carries real weight: students at Astor make gains that consistently outpace state averages, regardless of where they start.

The statewide picture is hard to ignore. Astor ranks 19th out of 1,226 public schools in Oregon, placing it in the top 2% across all school types and grade levels. Within Portland, it holds 9th place among 148 public schools — a competitive urban field.

Among Oregon elementary schools specifically, Astor ranks 17th out of 689. Every comparison frame produces the same result: this school performs near the top. A student-teacher ratio of 15.6:1 keeps classrooms manageable across the full K–8 span, giving teachers the capacity to track individual progress over multiple years.

Astor operates as a regular public school without selective admissions, drawing from the surrounding neighborhood. For Portland families running side-by-side comparisons, few public options combine that level of grade continuity with a performance record that outperforms 98% of schools across Oregon.
