Oregon Episcopal School Reviews

102 reviews

OES is a school that has so much potential and lacks administrative vision and excellence. Teachers are generally very committed to students and the bright spot of this institution. However, the administration lacks vision and passion, and the communication across administration, teachers, and support staff is not effective. The sense of genuine, authentic community is grossly lacking. They lack participation in their school events and fund raisers, an indicator of the void of true community. They fall far short of their full potential, and treat families not personally but as a business transaction. Their attempt at diversity feels empty and vacant.

Review Oregon Episcopal School

As a parent, I have been super impressed with the intentional efforts by OES that goes in to creating a sense of community and belonging. Teachers are experts in their subject areas but more importantly they are experts in knowing their students. Small class sizes and gathering together has empowered my child to feel safe and known and because of this they are more inclined to try new things, ask questions and step out of their comfort zone. And that’s where real learning happens. Thank you OES!

OES has been an excellent choice for our two kids, who are in the Upper School. The administration & teachers are excellent, very concerned about every student, assuring personal attention to develop their learning skills; the classes as a college prep program are at the highest level. Both teachers and counselors are attentive to the students to challenge themselves. Our kids have reached new levels of confidence as learners. Their written projects, analytical skills, subject matter knowledge, curiosity, and interest in designing and conducting research are notably apparent. On a personal level, we are very pleased with how the OES students interact and support each other in their academic studies as well as their world view in ethics & diversity. In our choices of private schools, we are confident OES was by far - all around - the best place for them.
