Grout Elementary School

Tucked into the leafy, walkable Foster-Powell and Woodstock neighborhoods of inner Southeast Portland, Grout Elementary draws families who love the Pacific Northwest's blend of urban energy and tight-knit community feel. The school punches well above average in both English and math, making it a solid choice for families prioritizing strong academics without having to venture far from the coffee shops, farmers markets, and parks that make this corner of Portland so livable. It's the kind of neighborhood school where parents tend to get involved and kids grow up feeling like they genuinely belong to a place.
