Beatrice Morrow Cannady Elementary

Tucked into the quiet, semi-rural community of Damascus on the edge of the Portland metro area, Beatrice Morrow Cannady Elementary offers solid academics in a setting that feels a world away from the city bustle — with the conveniences of North Clackamas schools backing it up. Families who love the idea of a smaller, community-rooted school without sacrificing academic quality tend to find a good fit here, with scores sitting comfortably above average in both English and Math. It's a natural draw for families settling into Damascus's mix of newer subdivisions and open land, where kids often grow up knowing their neighbors and their teachers alike.
