Summary

Grants Pass High School is a large public high school serving grades 9–12 with 1,658 students in Grants Pass, Oregon, part of Grants Pass School District 7. It earned a 4-star rating in 2025–2026 and ranked 68th of 271 Oregon high schools (75th percentile) — a notable climb from 2018–2019, when it sat at the 33rd percentile with 2 stars. About 71% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, per-student spending is $18,532, and the student-teacher ratio is 21.9.

Completion and attendance are clear strengths at Grants Pass High School: the 2024–2025 graduation rate was 96.2%, well above the district (83.6%) and state (83.0%), and chronic absenteeism was 28.2%, below the district (31.8%) and state (33.5%). On 2025–2026 OSAS testing, 11th graders reached 58% proficiency in ELA, 26.9% in math, and 45.9% in science — all above state and district 11th-grade averages, though math is the school's relative weak spot. Among nearby schools, only Rogue River Junior/Senior High posts higher 11th-grade scores (62.1% ELA, 32.8% math, 50.0% science) along with smaller classes and higher spending ($22,887), but Grants Pass still graduates more students and keeps more of them attending regularly.

The school serves several student groups particularly well, ranking in the 91st percentile for Special Education Students (5 stars), 72nd for Low Socio Economic Status Students, and strongly for homeless, gifted and talented, female, and male students. Still, some subgroup results shifted in 2025–2026 — Hispanic students fell to the 61st percentile from 91st, multi-racial students to the 19th from 81st, and low-SES students to 72nd from 90th — swings that may partly reflect small group sizes but are worth monitoring. By contrast, Gladiola High School, in the same district with similar poverty and spending, graduates 50.0% of students with 53.7% chronic absenteeism, underscoring how much Grants Pass stands out locally.

Open Quote Grants Pass high school discriminates against medical and religious freedoms. My child is being left behind, because of her medical condition, and her religious beliefs. I have spoken with the school board and while they agree that my child should be able to attend GPHS, they are doing nothing to protect children from government overreach. We need people with a backbone to stand up for our children when they see students being discriminated against. I would give the school a negative 10 star rating if I could, because of the cowardice of the school board. Close Quote
