Arleta Elementary School

Arleta Elementary sits in the Foster-Powell neighborhood of Southeast Portland, a laid-back, walkable corner of the city known for its locally owned coffee shops, community gardens, and strong neighborhood pride. The school punches above the district average in math and holds its own in English, making it a solid choice for families planting roots in one of SE Portland's most genuinely community-minded pockets. Families who love a neighborhood school with real character — where kids walk or bike to school and neighbors actually know each other — tend to feel right at home here.
