School Overview

Tucked into the quiet, tree-lined enclave of Riverdale — one of Portland's most sought-after pockets along the west side of the Willamette — this small public school consistently performs at the very top of the state, making it a genuine gem for families who want a tight-knit community feel without sacrificing academic rigor. The school draws families who value strong fundamentals in both English and math, and the neighborhood itself feels almost like a hidden village within the city, with winding roads, lush greenery, and easy access to Tryon Creek State Natural Area. It's the kind of place where kids walk to school and parents actually know each other, making it as much about community as it is about achievement.
