Summary:
The 97213 zip code in Portland, Oregon is home to a single middle school, Roseway Heights School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Portland School District 1J. While the district is highly ranked, Roseway Heights School has consistently underperformed compared to other middle schools in Oregon, ranking in the bottom half of the state's 368-380 middle schools over the past three years.
Roseway Heights School's academic performance on state assessments (OSAS) is below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 27.5% of 8th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 57.3% for the district and 41.6% for the state. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% and a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 65.57%.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $22,691 and lower student-teacher ratio of 14:1, these additional resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Further investigation would be needed to understand the specific factors contributing to Roseway Heights School's underperformance and identify potential strategies for improvement.
