Summary

Franklin High School is a public high school in Portland, Oregon, serving 1,811 students in grades 9-12. While the school is part of the highly-ranked Portland School District 1J, it has faced some challenges in recent years compared to its neighboring schools.

One key area of concern is Franklin High School's academic performance. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science have consistently lagged behind the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 49% of Franklin students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 53.4% for the district and 44.4% for the state. Similarly, the school's four-year graduation rates, ranging from 81.3% to 85.0%, are slightly lower than the district average of around 84%. Additionally, Franklin High School has had relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.3% to 50.6% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Despite these challenges, Franklin High School is located in close proximity to several other high-performing schools within the Portland School District 1J, such as Lincoln High School, Grant High School, and Cleveland High School, which consistently outperform Franklin High School on key metrics. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, suggesting the need for more targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.
