Summary

Milwaukie Academy of the Arts is a small public high school serving 281 students in grades 9–12 in Milwaukie, Oregon, part of North Clackamas School District 12 and located just 0.07 miles from Milwaukie High School, which suggests a shared campus or a closely connected program. It ranks 42nd of 271 Oregon high schools in 2025–2026 (85th percentile, 4 stars), a strong rebound from 120th of 270 in 2024–2025.

Academically, the school's strengths are in English language arts and science. Its 11th-grade ELA proficiency of 76.3% is roughly 29–30 points above the district's 46.9% and the state's 46.0%, and its science proficiency of 60.7% is about 27 points above both. Science is a particular standout — higher than every nearby school in the comparison except Riverdale High School. Math is the clearest gap: 25.8%, only slightly above the district (24.8%) and state (22.9%), and well below Cleveland High School (45.9%), Lakeridge High School (53.0%), Lake Oswego High School (53.3%) and Riverdale (51.6%). Within its own district, MAA is second only to Clackamas Middle College in ELA and math and first in science, and it outperforms Putnam High School and New Urban High School. Its graduation rate is 92.8%, above the district (87.9%) and state (83.0%).

Chronic absenteeism is the area to watch: 33.5%, equal to the state and above the district's 30.5%, and much higher than Clackamas Middle College (11.1%) or Lake Oswego (20.4%). Two reported resource figures look unreliable — per-student spending of $11,803 (the lowest among nearby schools, after a sharp drop from $22,147 in 2022–2023) and a student-teacher ratio of 425.7, which is implausible for 281 students — so treat them as data-quality flags rather than real measures of class size or efficiency.
