We're often asked which public schools are the best, and honestly the answer depends on the student. What's important to you; language immersion, science/math, diversity, the arts, athletics, location, social sciences, etc? Portland public schools have more options than most expect. Don't hesitate to engage with the school's office staff, call ahead to schedule a time to discuss options in person. Better yet, attend your school's open house!
Times have changed and the historic "recruiting" image below won't be found on the PPS website , but it's interesting to look back...
