Astor Elementary School

Astor Elementary sits in the St. Johns neighborhood of North Portland, one of the city's most beloved and tight-knit communities — think weekend farmers markets, the historic St. Johns Bridge, and a genuine small-town feel within a major city. The school performs solidly well above the state middle, making it a strong choice for families who want good academics without the pressure-cooker intensity of some of Portland's higher-profile school zones. It tends to draw families who value community roots, neighborhood walkability, and the kind of school where kids and teachers actually know each other.
