Gresham High School

Gresham High School serves the eastern edge of the Portland metro area, where the city gives way to a more spread-out, working-class community with a strong sense of local identity. Academics here are a work in progress, with math and English scores sitting well below state averages, so families who prioritize rigorous coursework may want to weigh their options carefully or look into supplemental support. That said, for families rooted in the Gresham community who value a school connected to its neighborhood, GHS offers a recognizable home-team feel in a city that's more affordable than Portland proper and has its own distinct character.
