"Positive experience , Portland has been my home since 2020. It’s been great for jobs and gym memberships. Basic needs like Care to Share Program Oregon Food Bank is awesome."

"This neighborhood is not good. Continually getting our vehicles broken into and also gas siphoned. Tonnele cover on my truck was also sliced. This is reoccurring. Homeless people and druggies abound. Our garage was also broken into. It is not safe here. We have lived here 10 yrs and it’s getting worse. We will move soon, out of Oregon which is sad because I grew up here. But now to many people and not safe at all. "

"Our neighborhood is very friendly and we’ve noticed a lot of younger families moving in over the last 3 years. A great mixture of older residents and families makes for a safe community who look after their homes and each other. We love it here because it’s quiet, safe, and the fantastic dog park in walking distance is a great bonus!"

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTeachers don’t pay attention to students. If you’re a quiet student you get overlooked they want you to be loud.but some kids are not built like that.They say they are big on No bullying but it’s bullying at this school indefinitely from students to teachers . It’s definitely a Race thing at this school.as far as teaching i think the teachers need to slow down and take their time that’s why test scores are always low and students are not meeting academics because their rushing the the learning.Parent Review2y ago8 Reviews - Lynch View Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son just started 1st grade. I just met his teacher the night before at the meet and greet. I really like her. He has an IEP and I feel all that are involved are truly committed to him and his success. I loved his Kinder teacher, Ms. Paula. The new principal is great. Literally born and raised in the neighborhood. Lots of good energy. So far no complaints here.Parent Review6y ago3 Reviews - Powell Butte Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers care about their students and their success, or they wouldn't be teaching in that kind of atmosphere. There is lots of staff per classroom to help the kids. Great parent/teacher communication if you so desire. They have fun things like music, talent shows, reward programs, parties...they aren't missing out. And it is very consistent - every day - which kids thrive on. My son went from hating to school at his previous location, to loving school and being successful!Parent Review9y ago2 Reviews - Franciscan Montessori Earth School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have now been at this school for three years and we could not be happier. We left our neighborhood school mid-year because our son was being bullied and despite numerous conversations with his teacher, the counselor, and the principal little to nothing was done. When I picked our son up from his shadow day at FMES, he said it was the best day of his life. Within a week he was more joyful than he'd ever been at our neighborhood school. Three years later, he has some of the sweetest friends and is the happiest I've ever seen him. This past weekend (end of spring break) he said he was missing school because he is really enjoying math. Our younger son has ADHD and is also thriving. The options and flexibility really work well for him. FMES feels different from the moment you walk through the door. It's a very warm and welcoming community. Having taught special education in public schools for twelves years it was tough for us to make the decision to switch but we could not be happier. The love and care our children receive at FMES protects their innocence and joy, giving them a wonderful childhood.Parent Review1mo ago14 Reviews - Oliver Elementary School
