Summary

New Urban High School is a grades 9–12 public high school serving 320 students in Milwaukie, Oregon, part of North Clackamas School District 12. Its district is comfortably above average — 48th of 141 Oregon districts (66th percentile) — but the school itself ranks 265th of 271 Oregon high schools (2nd percentile) in 2025–2026, and across ten years of records it has never risen above the 14th percentile.

Outcomes are low across every measure. In 2025–2026, 15.6% of students met English language arts standards, 7.0% in math, and 9.5% in science — roughly one-third of state and district levels. Chronic absenteeism stands at 78.3%, more than double the district (30.5%) and state (33.5%) rates, meaning about four in five students miss this much school. The four-year graduation rate is 59.4%, versus 87.9% district-wide and 83.0% statewide. Both graduation and attendance have improved recently, but from very low starting points.

Comparisons close to home are the most striking. Milwaukie High School, about 1.7 miles away, reports a higher poverty indicator yet beats New Urban on proficiency, graduation (82.1%) and absenteeism (48.5%). Gladstone High School, roughly 3 miles away, outperforms it by 26.6 points in ELA. Meanwhile Clackamas Middle College (93rd percentile) and Milwaukie Academy of the Arts (85th percentile) — similar-size schools in the same district — sit near the top of the state, though both are likely choice programs with self-selected enrollments. Spending is not the explanation: New Urban's $18,011 per student is below most nearby schools, and a much higher spending year posted a 47.0% graduation rate.

What people are saying
by a student
Monday, November 20, 2017

Open Quote A majority of the students there are giving a "second chance" refering to them attending different school before hand and doing very poorly, a lot of the students have a problem with discipline and potential drug issues. If you have to come to this school do it to catch up. Teachers will try to "be friends" with you then stab you in the back later on. If you keep to yourself and do your work, you will do just fine here. Close Quote
