Good academics, but weak in comparison to the rest of the U.S. However, a lot of the things I learned I will never use again in the future. The same applies to sports, since competition in Oregon is very very weak. Kids at school can be very mean and hurtful and disruptive, and teachers are slightly above average. Safety is very good, however lots of smoking and drugs at this school. Diversity sucks. This school is good if you are like everyone else and enjoy cliques, if you are different than the norm, don’t go here. It’s not worth you’re time.

Overall very good teachers, great facilities, and school promotes safe and respectful environment. Lot's of opportunities for different friend groups, athletics, and arts - something for everyone. Academics are highly valued, and there is very good counselor support for college. School could use some more diversity, but most students are open minded - with a few exceptions. It's been a really good four years, and my friends and I are ready for college.
Academically excellent. I was extremely prepared for my freshman year of college. There's a reason its considered to be the best high school in Oregon (performance-wise). Teachers are insightful, well qualified, very helpful and want you to succeed. The culture can be tough sometimes. It tends to be a bit stiff, with a heavy focus on clique-based social interaction, and diversity is limited (both ethnic and socioeconomic). It's a competitive school in a wealthy and aspirational community, and as such, the culture has very high expectations for almost every facet of life. Many students are very gifted and broadly talented. Lake Oswego is not for the faint of heart, the workload is tough and the culture can be frustrating at times, however, if you students who attend will emerge an extraordinary student and a very resilient person.
