Partially surrounded by Willamette River and Columbia River, St. Johns is a neighborhood of Portland, Oregon with an abundance of local businesses in the area. Just nine miles from downtown Portland, 11 miles from the Portland International Airport, and 14 miles from neighboring Vancouver, Washington, St. Johns has close proximity to many wonderful amenities. Industrial warehouses, residential areas, lakes, and surrounding wetlands make up this unique Portland neighborhood.
St. Johns’ greatest asset is the Smith and Bybee Wetlands Natural Area, surrounding Smith and Bybee Lakes. One of the region’s best-kept secrets and one of America’s largest urban wetlands, this natural area is a staple to the St. Johns community. Walk the Interlaces Trail or travel by boat to explore this park where you may find beavers, river otters, deer, turtles, and bald eagles. During April through June, kayak or canoe the lakes to explore the gorgeous wetlands. Great rental opportunities await you in St.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
