Summary

Forest Grove High School is a comprehensive grades 9–12 school in Forest Grove, Oregon, serving 1,849 students as part of Forest Grove School District 15. It ranked 164 of 271 schools (39th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–26, down from 3-star showings in 2024–25 and 2023–24 — still a large improvement over its bottom-quartile standing in the mid-2010s, but a recent dip worth watching.

Academically, the profile is mixed. In 2025–26 English Language Arts, 45.8% of students were proficient, above the district's 33.1% and slightly above the state's 43.8%. Math is the clear weak spot: 14.3% proficient, far below the district's 22.0% and the state's 32.9%. Science came in at 29.6%, above the district but below the state. The 2024–25 graduation rate of 84.0% beats both the district (81.2%) and the state (83.0%), though it trails Banks High School (98.1%), Glencoe High School (94.0%), Liberty High School (91.4%), Westview High School (91.1%), Century High School (91.0%), and Hillsboro High School (86.2%). Chronic absenteeism is 36.3%, above district and state levels.

Forest Grove High School serves a high-poverty population — 78.8% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch — and spends $21,397 per student, the most among nearby comprehensive high schools, with a 20.1:1 student-teacher ratio. Nearby Banks High School reports much lower poverty and far higher test scores, while Aloha High School, similar in size, scores much lower. School effectiveness is weakest for English Language Learners, special education students, and low-income students, so math, attendance, and targeted subgroup support look like the most useful priorities. The district's small alternative campus, Tuality Plains High School, serves a very different population and posts much lower outcomes.
