FAUBION ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Faubion Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Portland SD 1J school district, located in Portland, OR with about 626 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade. Student demographics can be found below. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 34 teachers, Faubion Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Faubion Elementary School, located in the Concordia neighborhood of Northeast Portland, is a notable institution within the Portland Public Schools (PPS) district. Following a comprehensive rebuild completed in 2017, the school serves as a modern "PreK-8" campus. The facility is unique because it operates as a shared space, physically connected to the Concordia University campus (prior to the university's closure) and designed to integrate early childhood education, K-8 schooling, and community health services under one roof.

Beyond its academic curriculum, Faubion is widely recognized for its "3-to-PhD" initiative. This collaborative model aims to support students from preschool through doctoral-level mentorship by providing wraparound services, including on-site health and dental clinics, robust mental health support, and community programming. By emphasizing a holistic approach to student well-being and academic success, the school strives to create a stable, resource-rich environment for a diverse student population in the surrounding community.
