See the Portland High Schools with the Best Graduation Rates

Jefferson High School
The 74 percent figure is a two percent increase from 2014 statistics. State leaders said on Thursday that they were pleased with the growing number of on-time graduates in the state.
“This increase moves us closer to our goal of having every Oregon student complete high school with a plan," Governor Kate Brown said. “We have work to do as a state to reach that goal, and I am committed to making sure our education system delivers better outcomes.”
Deputy Superintendent Salam Noor acknowledged that while the graduation rate is still too low to be considered acceptable, the increase was a vital sign of progress for a troubled education system in Oregon.
“While our graduation rate is far from where we want and need it to be, this increase means we are headed in the right direction and is truly something to celebrate,” Noor said. “I want to recognize our teachers, administrators, students, families, and communities for the incredible focus, dedication, and hard work they have put into helping more of our students graduate on time and with the skills needed to succeed in college and the workplace.”
