Candy Lane is a terrific school with an excellent Principal and Staff. The teachers love the kids and are very encouraging and organized. The parent group is very engaged and provides a lot of fun activities and financial grants for the students and teachers. The students seem to really love the support staff and the custodian. It is great for the kids to have a positive blend of the Spanish and English culture. I have two kids who have completed elementary at Candy Lane and one entering. I would definitely recommend the school to parents.

My children loved their teachers at Candy Lane, and their bilingual program is an asset to the district.

My son had Ms. Ramos for his 4th grade teacher last year, 2007-2008. He liked her and said she was really fair. The home work was not too much but enough to keep him busy and learning. Now my twins will be attending and my daughter got Ms. Ramos for her 4th grade teacher. Her twin brother got Mr. Hanson. I hear Mr. Hanson is a cool teacher and gets along great with his class. I totally recommend this school if anyone is interested in moving to the Milwaukie area. Lynn

About the tests


In 2009-2010 Oregon used the Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (OAKS) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading and math; in grades 4, 7 and 10 in writing; and in grades 5, 8 and 10 in science. The OAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Oregon. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
