Glencoe Elementary School

Tucked into the leafy, walkable streets of the Beaumont-Wilshire and Roseway neighborhoods in Northeast Portland, Glencoe Elementary consistently ranks among the very best public elementary schools in Oregon, with test scores that rival the state's top private options. Families drawn to the area tend to value both strong academics and Portland's signature neighborhood culture — farmers markets, independent coffee shops, and a genuine sense of community just outside the school doors. It's the kind of place where parents put down roots specifically to be in this school's boundaries, and the academic results make it easy to see why.
