Ellsworth Elementary School

Ellsworth Elementary sits in the eastern part of Vancouver, a city that offers a quieter, more suburban feel compared to its neighbor across the river in Portland — with lower costs of living and plenty of outdoor access to parks and trails nearby. The school serves a working-class community and, while test scores fall in the mid-to-lower range for the state, families who value a close-knit neighborhood school with a strong sense of belonging may find it a comfortable fit. Families drawn to the area are often looking for the affordability and space that Vancouver offers while still being within easy reach of the broader Portland metro job market and amenities.
