Portland Public Schools

Prospective high school students can visit their neighborhood high school or a focus option school at information sessions being held district-wide November through February.

Students attend their neighborhood high school or apply through the February lottery to attend Benson or Jefferson.

Students who live in the Jefferson attendance area have a guaranteed slot at Jefferson or at a comprehensive high school assigned by address. They must fill out a dual-assignment choice form in February.

Look up a student's  assigned high school.  Download a dual assignment form and learn more at www.pps.net/schoolchoice.

If you can’t attend an information night, some schools offer tours or the opportunity to shadow a student. Call the school you are interested in or go online for their policies. View school websites for more information. 

Learn more about the high school modernization work through the PPS School Building Improvement Bond.
