Lewis Elementary School

Lewis Elementary School serves 297 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Portland, Oregon, earning a composite score of 9.1 out of 10 — a rating the site labels Exceptional. The school ranks 35th among 1,226 public Oregon schools and outperforms 97% of schools statewide. For Portland families, it also places 22nd among 148 city schools.

These are not soft distinctions. Academic performance and growth are the engine behind that standing. Lewis scores 9.4 out of 10 on academics and 9.6 on growth — the highest of its three subscores.

That growth figure signals students are gaining ground faster than peers at schools with similar starting points, a more reliable indicator than test scores alone. The school operates at a student-teacher ratio of 18.6 to 1 across its 297-student enrollment. That is a typical public school classroom size, which means Lewis earns its rank through instructional consistency rather than structural advantage.

Ranked 32nd of 689 Oregon elementary schools, it holds that position in a large, competitive field. For any parent comparing Portland elementaries, the data here tells a consistent story — strong academics, strong momentum, top-tier standing.
