School Overview

Gaston Elementary sits in a small, tight-knit farming community tucked into the rolling hills of Washington County's wine country, about 30 miles southwest of Portland. It's the kind of school where everyone knows everyone, and that close community feel tends to shine through in how the school supports its students — with English scores landing solidly above average and math performing near the middle of the pack statewide. Families drawn to a slower-paced, rural lifestyle with genuine small-town roots — and who don't mind the trade-off of being a bit off the beaten path — will find a lot to appreciate here.
