Grout Elementary School

Grout Elementary School serves 302 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Portland, Oregon. It operates as a regular public school with a student-teacher ratio of 16.8:1, keeping classes small enough for meaningful individual attention. Academically, Grout stands well apart from its peers.

The school earns a composite score of 9.4 out of 10, rated Exceptional, with a 9.3 academic score and a standout 9.8 growth score — meaning students here are advancing faster than nearly every school in the state. It ranks 14th out of 1,226 public schools in Oregon, outperforming 99% of Oregon schools overall. Among Portland schools specifically, it places 5th out of 148, and it ranks 13th out of 689 Oregon elementary schools — putting it in a very short list of top performers statewide.

The growth score is especially worth noting for parents evaluating long-term outcomes. A 9.8 reflects consistent, measurable academic progress across the student body, not just strong baseline performance. For families prioritizing both achievement and momentum, Grout's combination of high academic scores and exceptional growth makes it one of the most compelling elementary options in Portland.
