Summary:

Gresham-Barlow School District 10J includes three high schools serving grades 9–12 — Gresham High School, Sam Barlow High School, and Springwater Trail High School — with a combined enrollment of 3,504 students in the Gresham area. Gresham High School (1,685 students) and Sam Barlow High School (1,635) are large, together holding about 95% of the district's high school enrollment, while Springwater Trail High School is a small school of 184 students. The Gresham-Barlow School District 10J itself is rated 1 star, ranking 114th of 141 Oregon districts (19th percentile), yet two of its three high schools earned 3 stars in 2025–2026.

Sam Barlow High School is the strongest overall performer, ranking 110th of 271 Oregon high schools (59th percentile, 3 stars) — a notable climb from 171st the previous year. It posts the highest ELA (54.7%) and math (20.7%) proficiency among the three, plus 33.0% science and an 89.4% graduation rate. Springwater Trail High School ranks 127th (53rd percentile, 3 stars) and leads in graduation (92.0%) and science (38.1%), with the highest per-student spending ($21,258) and the smallest classes (16.8 students per teacher). Gresham High School ranks 240th of 271 (11th percentile, 1 star) and trails on nearly every measure: 27.9% ELA, 8.6% math, 15.0% science, and 77.0% graduation.

Shared challenges cut across all three schools. Math is the clearest weakness: every school falls below Oregon's 32.9% math proficiency rate, and even Barlow is 12.2 points under it. Chronic absenteeism is also high everywhere — Gresham 58.6%, Springwater Trail 50.3%, Barlow 43.0% — all above the district's 40.3% and the state's 33.5%. All three serve high-poverty populations, with free/reduced lunch rates between 81.53% and 85.22%, so poverty alone does not explain the differences between them. Because Springwater Trail High School enrolls only 184 students, its standout numbers may shift more from year to year, and families should weigh that small size when comparing it with the larger schools.
