Summary:
The city of Portland, Michigan is home to a single high school, Portland High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 279 out of 739 Michigan high schools in 2024-2025 to 468 out of 735 in 2022-2023.
Academically, Portland High School has shown some strengths, with proficiency rates on the SAT assessments exceeding the state averages in both Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Mathematics. However, the school's performance on the M-Step assessments, particularly in Science, has been weaker and below the state averages. Attendance and student retention also appear to be areas of concern, with the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% and a slightly below-average four-year graduation rate of 82.8%.
Compared to the state average, Portland High School has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting its student population may come from relatively higher-income families. Overall, the data provides a mixed picture of the school's performance, with some areas of strength and others that may require improvement. Further analysis and comparison to other schools in the region could provide additional insights into the school's performance and areas for improvement.
