About Llewellyn Elementary School

Llewellyn Elementary serves 393 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Portland, Oregon. Its composite score of 9.3/10 — anchored by a near-perfect academic score of 9.9 — earns it an Exceptional rating, the highest designation on the MySchoolScout scale. That standing puts Llewellyn in rare company: the school ranks 22nd among 1,226 public schools statewide, outperforming 98% of all Oregon schools.

Within Portland, Llewellyn holds 12th place out of 148 public schools, a position that reflects sustained, measurable performance rather than a single strong year. Its growth score of 9.0/10 signals that students are advancing faster than most peers — evidence that results here aren't simply a product of advantaged enrollment. The student-teacher ratio of 15.7:1 keeps class sizes manageable for a K–5 school of this size.

As a regular public school with open enrollment, Llewellyn's results are available to any family in the attendance zone. That access carries real weight: the school ranks 20th out of 689 Oregon elementary schools, a threshold most private and charter alternatives across the state don't clear.
