DISTRICT PROFILE:
Portland Public Schools (PPS) is the largest school district in Oregon, serving 47,000 students, from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, in 85 regular school buildings, as well as alternative schools, charter schools and specialized programs for students with special needs.
The District is focused on deepening our understanding of institutionalized racism and its impact on student learning, and providing support for leading systemic equity transformation initiatives in the district and schools.
At PPS, our goal is that by the end of elementary, middle and high school every student by name is meeting or exceeding academic standards and is fully prepared to make productive life decisions.
