Harrison Park School

Harrison Park School serves 321 sixth through eighth graders in Portland, Oregon. The regular public school earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — labeled Exceptional by MySchoolScout — with academic performance at 8.3 and student growth at 9.8. Both scores hold up against the full Oregon field.

Harrison Park ranks third among 207 middle schools statewide and outperforms 98% of all Oregon public schools across every school type and grade level. At 13.4 students per teacher, it operates at a lower ratio than most public middle schools, giving students more direct access to instructors in a school of 321. Within Portland, Harrison Park places 16th out of 148 public schools across all grade levels.

The 9.8 growth score merits attention: growth measures how far students advance beyond what their starting point predicts, not just where they finish. A school that produces high growth alongside strong academic scores is performing well for students — not simply enrolling students who were already ahead. For Portland families comparing middle school options, Harrison Park ranks among the strongest public choices in Oregon by either measure.
