César Chávez K-8 School

César Chávez K-8 sits in the heart of Portland's vibrant Centennial neighborhood on the east side, serving a diverse, working-class community where families from many cultural backgrounds have put down roots. Academics here have room to grow, but the school carries a strong sense of identity and cultural pride — especially meaningful in a neighborhood that has long been home to Portland's Latino community. Families who value a tight-knit, multicultural environment and want their kids to grow up alongside a truly diverse mix of peers will find a community-oriented school that reflects the real fabric of east Portland life.
