Peter S Ogden Elementary

Peter S. Ogden Elementary sits in east Vancouver, a part of Clark County that's grown quickly but still has a grounded, working-class feel — close to everyday amenities without the polish of the west side. The school's scores place it at the lower end of the district, and families who are weighing options here would likely want to have a conversation with the principal about what academic support looks like for their child. That said, for families already rooted in the neighborhood, it can be a convenient community anchor, and Vancouver's proximity to Portland gives the broader area more to offer than its zip code might suggest.
