School Overview

Alder Elementary sits in the diverse, working-class neighborhoods of outer East Portland, a part of the city that often gets overlooked but is home to tight-knit immigrant and multigenerational communities. The school faces real academic challenges, with test scores that reflect the broader struggles common in under-resourced areas, and families considering Alder should go in with eyes open and connect with the school directly to understand what support systems are in place. For families already rooted in this corner of Portland, Alder can be a community anchor — and Reynolds SD 7 has been working on improvement efforts worth asking about.
