The Riverdale School District (51J) is a public school district in Portland, Oregon. It serves students in the Dunthorpe neighborhood of Portland, seven miles south of downtown adjacent to Lake Oswego. It has two schools: Riverdale Grade School for students in K–8, and Riverdale High School for grades 9–12.[2]
History
The school district was created in 1888 when residents of the area petitioned to be split off from a larger neighboring district due to the distance children had to travel to school.[3] Initially the district was only for students in kindergarten through eighth grade; the district added a high school in 1996 to comply with legislation that required all school districts in the state offer K–12 education.[3][4]
