Maplewood Elementary School

Maplewood Elementary School serves 301 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Portland, Oregon. It earns a composite score of 9.5 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — built on a 9.2 academic score and a standout 9.8 growth score. That growth figure signals students here are advancing faster than nearly every comparable school in the state.

The rankings confirm it. Maplewood sits at #13 among 1,226 public schools in Oregon, outperforming 99% of schools statewide. Within Portland it holds the #3 spot out of 148 public schools, and it ranks #12 among all 689 elementary schools in Oregon.

Few schools in a major Oregon city operate at that level across both achievement and growth simultaneously. Maplewood is a regular public school with a student-teacher ratio of 20.1:1. At 301 students, it stays small enough for teachers to know their students well.

For families evaluating elementary options in the Portland area, the combination of top-tier academic performance and exceptional growth trajectory puts Maplewood in a category with very few peers — not just in the city, but across the entire state.

The student-teacher ratio at Maplewood Elementary School is 20.1:1, which is higher than the national average. This may mean larger class sizes, so parents should ask about classroom support, teaching assistants, and how the school differentiates instruction for students who need extra help.
