GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Gresham High is a school with a whole lot going on. The administration is not the best and it seems as if nobody, including the staff and teachers, want to be there. I've been to many schools throughout my educational career, and this was in my top 5 worst out of the roughly 15 schools I've attended. I hope that others that go to this school get to have a different experience than I had, but if you can, I'd suggest going to the rival school in the district, Barlow high school, because I've heard much better things about that school from many people.

Gresham High School has a serious problem with being an unsafe environment for students and staff alike. Students are hostile and rude, fights break out in the hallways which are overcrowded and noisy. I was bullied off of campus to the point where I had to switch schools. There is also a huge drug problem students will occupy bathrooms to vape and glare at other students who just want to use the bathroom for it's intended purposes. I wish I never went to Gresham High School

There are some amazing individuals that work here, however, not enough care & concern shown universally to staff and students by the administration.

The school has gone into “secure” twice in the last two weeks. There has been little to no contact with family. There has bee...

I can never talk to one person. Constantly changing councilors and staff,missed communication from department to department, and an inability of the school to admit that kids are falling between the cracks is frustrating and unfair to the students and parents. My daughter will attend Springwater bas...

This school is terrible. I've tried to attend here twice. The main part of the school is over a century old. They are bitter rivals. And when my sister attended they lost her transcripts. Very few teachers are actually helpful. And they spend all they're money for school sports and not something wor...

I graduated from Gresham High School in 2010. All 4 years of HS I transferred to GHS because I was out of district. One of the reasons I transferred every single year was that no other school offered AVID, I can proudly say that I was part of the first generation of AVID. This school has resources t...
