Summary:
ZIP code 97212 has exactly one public high school, Grant High School, serving grades 9–12 in Portland School District 1J. It is a large comprehensive school with 2,149 students. Its district ranks 12th of 141 in Oregon, at the 91st percentile with 5 stars. The school ranked 40th of 271 high schools in 2025–2026, in the 85th percentile with 4 stars. That is lower than its recent peak: 12th of 268 in 2023–2024 (96th percentile, 5 stars) and 17th of 270 in 2024–2025 (94th percentile, 5 stars). So the sole local high school option remains strong statewide, but its rank has slipped from the top 5% to the top 15%.
Grant’s outcomes are strongest in graduation and STEM. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 93.5%, versus 82.5% district and 83.0% state. In 2025–2026, All Grades math proficiency was 54.1% versus 50.5% district and 32.9% state; science was 54.8% versus 45.1% district and 30.6% state. At 11th grade, math was 54.1% versus 36.5% district and 22.9% state; science was 54.8% versus 47.1% district and 33.8% state. ELA is mixed: All Grades ELA was 51.4%, below the district’s 57.8% but above the state’s 43.8%; 11th-grade ELA was 51.4%, essentially level with the district’s 52.0% and above the state’s 46.0%. Grant’s All Grades and 11th-grade scores are identical.
The main caution is attendance. Chronic absenteeism was 36.0%, above the district’s 32.5% and the state’s 33.5%. If applied to full enrollment, that is roughly 774 students. Other context: 41.79% qualified for free/reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, per-student spending was $21,007, and the student-teacher ratio was 20.3, implying roughly 106 teachers. No district or state spending and ratio benchmarks are included. Overall, Grant is a large, high-performing school with excellent graduation and math/science results, but ELA lagging the district, chronic absenteeism above district and state levels, and a recent statewide rank decline are areas to watch.
