Linwood Elementary School

Linwood Elementary sits in Milwaukie, a laid-back inner-ring suburb just south of Portland with tree-lined streets, a strong sense of community, and easy access to the city without the hustle. Families in this area tend to prioritize connection and belonging, and Linwood reflects that neighborhood feel — though academically, the school currently ranks in the lower tier statewide, which may be a consideration for families weighing their options. It could be a good fit for parents who value proximity to Portland's amenities and are looking to be actively involved in building up their local school community.
