Portland Public Schools improved its graduation rate by 3 percentage points in 2020, according to figures made public Thursday by the Oregon Department of Education.
Nearly 84% of the district’s seniors graduated within four years. Statewide, that figure was about 83%, despite higher child poverty rates outside the state’s largest district.
Portland’s Black and Latino students posted the highest gains, with four-year rates growing to 77% each.
