Summary

Franklin High School is a large comprehensive public high school in Portland, Oregon, serving grades 9–12 with 1,807 students as part of Portland School District 1J. The school ranks 78th of 271 Oregon high schools in 2025–2026 — the 71st percentile with 4 stars — its strongest recent showing, up from the 61st percentile in 2024–2025 and the 36th percentile in 2017–2018.

Academically, Franklin has an unusual profile. Science is its standout: 50.0% of students are proficient, above the district (45.1%) and state (30.6%), and ahead of nearby Ida B. Wells-Barnett High School, Benson Polytechnic High School, Leodis V. McDaniel High School, David Douglas High School, and Milwaukie High School, though behind Lincoln High School, Grant High School, and Cleveland High School. Math is the clearest weakness at 28.8% — well below the district's 50.5% and slightly below the state's 32.9% — while English Language Arts (47.8%) sits above the state but below the district.

Completion and attendance are the bigger concerns. Franklin's graduation rate is 79.9%, below district and state, and chronic absenteeism is 43.5%, roughly 10 points above both. Its free/reduced lunch rate (41.89%) is nearly identical to several higher-performing Portland high schools, so those challenges aren't explained by poverty alone. Subgroup results are uneven: English Language Learners and Special Education students rank very high, while other groups remain a clear school-effectiveness gap. Franklin spends $21,410 per student with an 18.4 student/teacher ratio — moderate resources behind its strong science results.
