Summary

Parkrose High School is a 9–12 comprehensive high school with 998 students in the Parkrose neighborhood of outer northeast Portland, and it is the only traditional high school in Parkrose School District 3. In 2025–26 it ranked 269 of 271 Oregon high schools (1st percentile, 0 stars), the lowest ranking among its nearby comparison schools. Proficiency results are very low: 13.3% in English language arts, under 5% in math, and 11.3% in science. For comparison, Centennial High School posts 33.1% ELA and 16.1% math, while David Douglas High School, Leodis V. McDaniel High School, Franklin High School, and Grant High School are higher still, and Oregon’s rates are 43.8% ELA and 32.9% math.

Attendance is likely a central issue. In 2024–25, 52.7% of students were chronically absent—more than half, above the district’s 45.5%, and well above Oregon’s 33.5%. That is the highest absenteeism among the comprehensive high schools in this group. The school’s graduation rate is 78.2%, which is in the middle of the Portland-area comprehensive pack and close to Franklin High School (79.9%) and Leodis V. McDaniel High School (75.8%), even though its proficiency rates are far lower. This gap between graduation and tested proficiency is the most important thing for families to ask about. The school also has one of the highest student-to-teacher ratios (23.9) and spends $18,785 per student—less than every nearby comprehensive high school except Centennial High School ($17,975).

The decline is recent and steep: the school climbed to the 45th percentile in 2017–18, then fell to 8th in 2024–25 and 1st in 2025–26 after a brief rebound. The erosion is broad-based rather than limited to one part of the school. Within Parkrose School District 3, all-grades ELA proficiency is 28.5% and math is 16.7%, both far above the high school’s results, suggesting students perform better before high school than by grade 11. Overall, this school has very low test scores, high absenteeism, and a graduation rate that looks surprisingly typical for the area; families should ask how the school supports attendance, math instruction, and the transition into ninth grade.
