I have had children in Park Place Elementary school for over 9 years now. I've been a very involved parent and have seen strong relationships form, witnessed the creation of an amazing learning community, and feel confident in Park Place Staff's competence for teaching and guiding our kids and passion for our children's education. I would go nowhere else.

I to love Park Place Elementary. I now have 2 boys that go to school there and I am very upset about the fact that they may close this school next year because of cut backs.

This school is amazing. Everyone in staff is so caring and will do whatever it takes to make each and every student comfortable there. My children (I have three there now) love all of the teachers and staff. They have learned so much and have grown socially. I couldnt ask for a better place for my children to start off their academic career! Thank you Park Place!

We have recently moved to Oregon City and i have 3 children attending Park Place Elementary School and all i can say is WOW! What a great principal, teachers and staff. I feel so lucky that my children are able to attend this school. The teachers here are so personable and caring. It is such a comfort to know that my children are surrounded by people that really love to teach and be with children.

I am very pleased with my son's experience at Park Place. Unfortunately, we had to move, so we are no longer there. But it wasn't with out great disappointment. The one on one was was outstanding. They put a lot of effort into the children, more than I expected! I give it a 10 for Kindergarten!

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.
