CENTENNIAL PARK SCHOOL

Centennial Park School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Centennial SD 28J school district, located in Portland, OR with about 141 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 12 teachers, Centennial Park School has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Centennial Park School, located at 17630 SE Main St in Portland, Oregon, is a specialized educational facility operating under the Centennial School District. Unlike a traditional K-12 campus, the school serves as a therapeutic and alternative learning environment designed to support students who require intensive behavioral and emotional support. Its primary mission is to provide a structured, supportive atmosphere that fosters academic growth while addressing the individual social-emotional needs of its student population.

The school emphasizes a collaborative approach, working closely with families and district partners to develop personalized learning plans that help students succeed despite significant educational challenges. By maintaining smaller class sizes and utilizing specialized staff, Centennial Park aims to equip its students with the coping skills and academic foundations necessary to thrive within the classroom and eventually transition back to traditional school settings or post-secondary opportunities.
