LEWIS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Lewis Elementary School is a public elementary school that is part of the Portland SD 1J school district, located in Portland, OR with about 389 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. With about 23 teachers, Lewis Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
