PENINSULA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Peninsula 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 279 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. 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 19 teachers, Peninsula Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. 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.

The school serves a diverse student body, fostering an environment that emphasizes community engagement and academic growth. As a neighborhood school, it is deeply integrated into the local area, offering programs designed to support the unique cultural and social needs of its families.

The school is committed to creating an inclusive learning atmosphere that promotes equity and student success. Through its connection to the broader PPS system, Peninsula Elementary provides a comprehensive curriculum that aims to prepare students for middle school and beyond.
