The Parkrose School District has been an integral part of Northeast Portland for well over a century, continuously advancing educational standards and adapting to its growing, diverse student population. Originally established in 1885 as a small schoolhouse on NE Sandy Boulevard and 122nd Avenue, the district has since grown to include four elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, all dedicated to academic excellence and community engagement.

With a commitment to innovation and student success, Parkrose School District incorporates Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) strategies across K-12 classrooms, ensuring students develop critical thinking, study skills, and college-readiness habits. The district is also actively transitioning to digital curricula, enhancing student engagement and preparing learners for a tech-driven future. Through personalized instruction, inclusive learning environments, and strong academic programs, Parkrose empowers students to excel academically and develop leadership skills in an increasingly diverse world.

The Parkrose community has a rich agricultural history, but as the area transitions into a more urban and diverse setting, the school district remains dedicated to fostering a strong, inclusive educational environment. With dedicated educators, innovative programs, and a deep commitment to student achievement, Parkrose School District continues to prepare students for higher education, careers, and civic engagement.
