North Clackamas School District 12

The North Clackamas School District 12 in Oregon encompasses 31 schools, including 19 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 7 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse population with a range of academic performance, from standout high-achieving schools to lower-performing institutions.

Several schools in the district stand out for their exceptional academic achievements. Scouters Mountain Elementary and Happy Valley Elementary School are ranked among the top 131 elementary schools in Oregon, with strong test scores across multiple subjects. At the high school level, Clackamas Middle College is ranked 15th out of 268 Oregon high schools, demonstrating exceptional performance in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

However, the district also faces challenges, with significant disparities in academic achievement across schools. Schools with higher rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Milwaukie High School and Ardenwald Elementary, tend to have lower test scores. The district's overall 11th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are on par with or slightly above the statewide averages, but there is room for improvement, particularly in Mathematics and Science.
