Summary

Gregory-Portland High School in Portland, TX, is a large public high school serving 1,511 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the high-performing Gregory-Portland Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 83rd percentile statewide. The school has shown a strong upward trend, climbing from the 52nd percentile in 2020-2021 to the 72nd percentile in 2025-2026, a clear contrast to nearby schools like Ray High School (35th percentile) and Roy Miller H S And Metro School Of Design (18th percentile), which have remained in lower tiers. This consistent improvement suggests effective school-wide changes and a strengthening academic program.

Gregory-Portland High School excels in English Language Arts, consistently outperforming the state average in English I and II Reading, with 65% and 73% proficient compared to state averages of 55% and 60%. It also boasts a high graduation rate of around 93-94% and a very low dropout rate of 0.7%, significantly better than Taft High School (88.4% graduation) and alternative schools like Richard Milburn Academy Corpus Christi (21.3% dropout). However, the school has a notable weakness in Algebra I, where its proficiency rate (59%) is only slightly above the state average (54%) and lower than the district average (68%), indicating a need for targeted math support.

While the school provides exceptional support for its English Language Learners, who jumped from the 28th percentile to the 74th percentile in one year, its Gifted and Talented program has seen a decline from the 95th percentile to the 62nd percentile over three years. Compared to specialized schools like Collegiate High School (97th percentile) and Harold T Branch Academy For Career & Technical Educational (90th percentile), which serve smaller, self-selected populations, Gregory-Portland High School performs admirably as a large comprehensive school. It achieves these results with efficient spending of about $11,250 per student, less than lower-performing schools like Aransas Pass High School ($12,665) and Taft High School ($18,203).
