Harrison Park School has 750+ student in under-served East Portland with poverty rate >80% and diversity rate over 70%. The school is the largest K-8 in PPS, most diverse, and has the highest number of ESL students. Harrison is a Title 1 school led by a terrific principal and staff who are committed to improve student performance, reduce the achievement gap, and make it a role model for a rich environment for the community and for education.
