Parkrose High School

Summary:

Parkrose High School is a public high school in Portland, Oregon, serving 998 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Parkrose School District 3, which is ranked 121 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Parkrose High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon high schools over the past decade, with its highest ranking being 156 out of 283 schools in the 2017-2018 school year. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state average, with only 26.3% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 11.8% proficient in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 45.2% and 20%, respectively. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Parkrose High School ranking 150 out of 199 Oregon high schools for female students and 148 out of 206 for male students, both with a 1-star rating. However, the school performed better for Asian students, ranking 17 out of 34 schools with a 3-star rating.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Alliance High School and Grant High School, which are part of the higher-performing Portland School District 1J, Parkrose High School faces significant challenges, including a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (71.64%) and lower spending per student ($16,731) compared to some nearby schools. These factors may contribute to the school's academic struggles and suggest the need for targeted interventions and support programs to address the specific needs of its student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
