In 2008, 72% of the school's seniors received a high school diploma. Of 231 students, 167 graduated, 27 dropped out, ten received a modified diploma, and 27 were still in high school the following year. These numbers have gotten slightly better (and higher than the state average), with, in 2014, a 78% on-time graduation rate for seniors and 34 dropping out.

On May 17, 2019, 18 year old Angel Granados Dias entered his Parkrose High School classroom wearing a black trench coat and carrying a loaded shotgun while suffering from a mental health crisis. He was subdued by the school's security guard and sports coach, former Oregon Ducks football team star wide receiver Keanon Lowe. Lowe had previously been searching for Dias after the school received information on a possible threat. It was discovered that the shotgun was only loaded with one round on which Dias had written "5-17-19 just for me" and that Dias was going to attempt suicide. He was also carrying a suicide note with cremation costs and instructions for his body. On October 10, 2019, after five months in jail, Dias pleaded guilty to felony possession of a firearm in a public building and misdemeanor possession of a loaded firearm in public and was sentenced to three years of probation and any necessary mental health treatment. In June 2018, it was reported that the school's administration and police had repeatedly harassed an autistic teenager, named only as Sanders, his middle name, for months over fears that he was planning a school shooting. Fears were raised after a librarian reported that they had overheard students discussing the recent nationwide school shootings and referred to another student by a nickname "Shooter." The administration falsely identified "Shooter" as Sanders and raised caution over the fact that he was reportedly fascinated by guns, wore a trench coat, and was found with sharpened scissors.
