Cecile Trost Elementary School

Canby is a small agricultural town about 25 miles south of Portland, with a tight-knit feel that's a world away from the city bustle — and Cecile Trost Elementary reflects that community character. Academics here are a work in progress, with English and math scores in the lower percentiles statewide, so families who prioritize strong classroom performance may want to dig into how the school is supporting growth. That said, for families already rooted in Canby's farming community who value small-town life and local connection, this school is part of the fabric of the neighborhood.
