Summary

Sunset High School is a large public high school serving grades 9–12 with 1,812 students in the Beaverton School District 48J, located at 13840 NW Cornell Rd in the Portland area. It ranks 47th of 271 Oregon high schools for 2025–2026 — the 83rd percentile with 4 stars — making it the top-ranked standard comprehensive high school among its nearby peers. The selective magnet programs (International School of Beaverton, Beaverton Academy of Science and Engineering, and Arts and Communication Magnet Academy) rank higher, but Sunset leads traditional schools such as Westview High School (65th), Southridge High School (116th), and Beaverton High School (131st).

Its 2024–2025 graduation rate of 95.4% far exceeds the district's 88.9% and the state's 83.0%, and is the highest among nearby comprehensive high schools. Chronic absenteeism is 30.1% — better than the state's 33.5% and every nearby comprehensive peer, but slightly above the district's 28.7% and up from 26.6% the year before, a trend worth watching. In 2025–2026 OSAS testing, ELA proficiency is 63.5% and math 46.9%, both well ahead of district and state. Science, at 39.7%, is only modestly above district and state, and Westview outperforms Sunset in science at 45.8%, making science the clearest academic opportunity.

Sunset spends $17,929 per student, mid-range locally, with a relatively high student/teacher ratio of 21.5 — suggesting efficient results but possible resource strain. Support for students in special education and for English Language Learners ranks among the strongest in the state. The clearest gap is for students from low socio-economic backgrounds, at the 46th percentile with 2 stars, though the free/reduced lunch rate jumped from about 17% to 50% in one year, which suggests a reporting or eligibility change rather than a demographic shift. Rank history also shows volatility: Sunset was a top-15 Oregon school a decade ago, fell to 117th in 2018–2019, and has since recovered to 47th.
