The Office of High Schools supports the PPS high school system, helping students make the best fit for their learning styles and education goals so they graduate ready to succeed.
Community-based alternative programs are available for students whose academic and social needs are not being met effectively in traditional school settings. Portland Public Schools also includes charter schools that provide yet more variety in education choices.
Portland Public Schools strives to meet the individual learning needs of each student through special services that recognize students' strengths and build their abilities.
Most PPS schools offer on-site before and afterschool childcare. Childcare is provided by certified, nonprofit organizations. In some cases, the provider transports students from the school to a nearby childcare facility.
Parents may home school their students, as long as they register for that option. Eligible students may receive special education services even if they are home schooled. Visit the Multnomah Education Service District's website for more information.
