I'm recalling that ~ 25% of PPS/Oregon students don't even graduate at all anymore, when I read this.  Thats 100 out of a 400 member Senior Class.  

Portland and Oregon in general is becoming a haves and have-not state.  The gap between the rich and the poor is becoming wider.   90,000 and more moving into portland alone and the middle-class/working class is asked to shoulder the weight with their astronomical tax burdens and increased food and housing costs.
