Summary:
ZIP code 97206 in Portland, Oregon is home to just one high school, Franklin High School, which serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 1,807 students as part of Portland School District 1J. Because it is the only high school in the area, there are no local peer schools to compare it against, so the most useful context comes from how it performs against its district and the state of Oregon.
Academically, Franklin's clearest strength is science: 50.0% of students met proficiency in both All Grades and 11th Grade, which is 4.9 points above the district and 19.4 points above the state in All Grades. English Language Arts is more mixed — 47.8% proficiency, above the state by 4.0 points in All Grades but 10.0 points below the district. Mathematics is the weakest subject: 28.8% proficiency in All Grades, which is 21.7 points below the district and 4.1 points below the state, though 11th graders beat the state by 5.9 points. Statewide, the school's ranking has improved to 78th out of 271 high schools (71st percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026, up from 106th of 270 (61st percentile, 3 stars) the year before and 97th of 268 (64th percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–2024. Note that test scores come from 2025–2026 while most other figures are from 2024–2025.
Two areas deserve attention. Chronic absenteeism stands at 43.5%, roughly 10–11 points above both the district (32.5%) and the state (33.5%). The graduation rate is 79.9%, slightly below the district's 82.5% and the state's 83.0%. For context, Franklin spends $21,410 per student, has a student-teacher ratio of 18.4, and a free/reduced-price lunch rate of 41.89%; the data provides no district or state spending comparison, so treat these as background rather than benchmarks.
