Summary

Parkrose High School is a public high school in Portland, Oregon, serving 1,011 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Parkrose School District 3, which is ranked 130 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Parkrose High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon high schools over the past decade, with its highest ranking being 156 out of 283 schools in the 2017-2018 school year.

Parkrose High School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, graduation rates, and student engagement. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 22.5% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, 5.1% in Mathematics, and 16.3% in Science, compared to the state averages of 44.4%, 20.3%, and 32.6%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate was 70.8% in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly lower than the state average. Additionally, Parkrose High School has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, reaching 56.7% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Parkrose High School to nearby schools, such as Grant High School, which is part of the Portland School District 1J, it becomes evident that Parkrose High School is underperforming in academic metrics, graduation rates, and student-teacher ratios. While the school ranks relatively well for its Asian and Hispanic student populations, it struggles with its African American, multi-racial, and special education student populations, ranking in the bottom 15-20% of Oregon high schools for these subgroups. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and improving resource allocation could be crucial steps in improving the school's outcomes.
