Summary:

The city of Gresham, Oregon is home to 22 schools, including 13 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The schools in this area serve a diverse student population and demonstrate a wide range of academic performance.

A few schools stand out as top performers in the district. East Orient Elementary School and Gresham Arthur Academy, a public charter school, both have significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. At the high school level, Springwater Trail High School has a higher graduation rate and better test scores than the other high schools in the Gresham-Barlow School District.

However, the data also reveals a concerning trend of high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, which likely contributes to the wide range in academic proficiency. Additionally, the Centennial School District, which includes Centennial High School and Butler Creek Elementary School, consistently underperforms compared to the Gresham-Barlow School District, despite similar student demographics, suggesting the need for further analysis to identify the factors contributing to this disparity.
