Summary

Grant High School is a large comprehensive public high school in Portland, Oregon, serving grades 9–12 with 2,149 students in Portland School District 1J. It is the largest high school in its nearby comparison group. The district is high-performing statewide, and Grant has generally ranked among Oregon’s stronger high schools, though its latest rank is 40th of 271 (85th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026, down from 17th and 12th in the prior two years.

Academically, Grant stands out in math and science. In 2025–2026, 54.1% of students met standards in math—far above the district’s 36.5% and the state’s 22.9%—and 54.8% did so in science, above the district’s 47.1% and the state’s 33.8%. English language arts is above the state at 51.4% but slightly below the district’s 52.0%. Grant’s 93.5% graduation rate in 2024–2025 is the highest among nearby schools, including Lincoln High School (88.9%), Cleveland High School (88.0%), Benson Polytechnic High School (86.9%), Franklin High School (79.9%), Parkrose High School (78.2%), Jefferson High School (77.0%), Leodis V. McDaniel High School (75.8%), and Alliance High School (38.8%). It also does this with lower per-student spending ($21,007) and a higher student-teacher ratio (20.3) than most nearby district high schools.

Grant’s special education effectiveness is elite—top-5 statewide—and a clear strength. Chronic absenteeism is 36.0%, better than most nearby schools but above the district’s 32.5% and state’s 33.5%, and it has risen since 2020–2021. Other watch points are English language arts versus district peers and recent declines in low-income and gifted/talented subgroup rankings. A jump in free/reduced-lunch rates likely reflects a reporting change because nearby schools show similar rates. Overall, Grant is a high-performing, large urban school with strong graduation, math, and science outcomes.
