2020 High Schools with the Best Teachers in OregonAbout this List

Lakeridge High School

• Lake Oswego School District, OR
• 9-12
• 164 reviews

Junior: I love Lakeridge! I transferred here at the start of Sophomore year, and have not regretted my decision at all. I think the staff in the office really stood out to me from the beginning because they were all so willing to accommodate my needs and get to know me. Most of the faculty here are very well-spoken, understanding, and work to get to know their student on personal levels. My counselor is also incredibly helpful and always works to ensure that I am getting the most out of my schedule. I already knew a lot of people before going into it, which definitely aided my time there and gives me a different perspective than a transfer student who comes knowing nobody. There are definitely pros and cons to every high school, but I am really glad I chose Lakeridge High School.

School of Science & Technology

• Beaverton School District, OR
• 9-12
• 38 reviews

Junior: Overall a great school, too bad it is closing/being merged. The atmosphere is very friendly and everybody is overall very welcoming. There is nerd culture but it isn't a big problem because of the lack of cliques and stuff. The food could be better but that goes for every high school really. The teachers are probably the best part about the school because they take the time to get to know each student and care for them and see them as more than a grade but as a person.

Riverdale High School

• Riverdale School District, OR
• 9-12
• 38 reviews

Parent: I am a parent with 3 kids in the Riverdale School District. My oldest graduated Riverdale High School last year and is thriving in college. She feels better prepared than most of her peers and looks back on her high school experience and truly values the education she received.

My second child is thriving as a junior and loves the small school experience. It is perfect for her. She loves the individual attention available from her teachers.

My third child is a seventh grader and he looks forward to attending the high school.

Lake Oswego Senior High School

• Lake Oswego School District, OR
• 9-12
• 220 reviews

Alum: I felt that Lake Oswego High has everything to offer young adults. The teachers in the STEM field have the highest degrees and certifications in their professions. The sports teams are supported by the student councils. The counseling staff is always aware and takes time to talk us through whatever trials we had. The school was predominately white, but they were very open and respectful to all those that were not caucasian. Lake Oswego High pushes all the students to their extremes to help them grow academically, physically, and maturely. The students are given all the tools they need to achieve in their interests and passions.

South Eugene High School

• Eugene School District, OR
• 9-12
• 242 reviews

Senior: South Eugene is a magnet school for wealthy and educated families in the area but has a diverse socioeconomic makeup nonetheless. The teachers and classes are academically robust, and there are many opportunities for college preparation and taking college classes for credit. One advantage of this school is its proximity to the University of Oregon, which allows for part time university enrollment. The school has some issues with diversity as it is majority white, and the wealthy makeup leads to some issues of perspective. The school does not always make minority inclusion and equity a priority. The counselors have so many students that they are spread thin, and the same goes for the administration. That said, it’s a good school if you want a rigorous education and access to many clubs and activities.

International School of Beaverton - High School

• Beaverton School District, OR
• 6-12
• 127 reviews

Junior: Because of its MYP program and full IB program that starts in junior year, the International School of Beaverton is excellent in providing a rigorous and comprehensive education which fully prepares students for college academics. Since it is a relatively small school, I really appreciate how the teacher and alumni are tight-knit so that students are able to receive detailed one-on-one feedback and help that may not be as easily accessible in larger schools.
I think that the school needs several improvements, however - especially the facility. Because there is so little parent involvement, fundraisers are rarely very effective and therefore our school does not have the resources to improve the facilities. There are definitely locations that need renovation or other improvements.

West Linn High School

• West Linn-Wilsonville School District, OR
• 9-12
• 279 reviews

Senior: West Linn High School has been a good place to go to school, the students are nice and all the teachers want is for you to succeed but you have to work for it of course. It's a nice environment and you have time to walk to your classes, even though the lack of parking can be annoying sometimes. There's a lot of clubs to join and you can also make your own club if you can't find one you like. The sports are awesome and they're so much fun to go to! There's a lot of nice teachers and there's a ton of opportunities for help if you do end up needing it. There's so many activities to do here so it's never really boring. Everyone is overall nice even if it doesn't seem like it , you just need to talk to them.

Condon High School

• Condon School District, OR
• 9-12
• 2 reviews

Senior: Condon High school has 37 students, the class sizes are small and every student gets one on one with all the teachers. All students are able to play the sports they want. Condon High school provides the option of colleges courses and work experiences in the community as a junior and senior. A work experience is when a student goes to a community business and learns about what it takes to work there. Most students have bonds with the teacher and the other students. Everyone in the high school is easy going and gets along, its hard not to like a student when its such a small school. That is one thing that I dislike about how small Condon high school is. All the students know when there are problems and seem to "have" to pick one side.

West Albany High School

• Greater Albany Public School District, OR
• 9-12
• 178 reviews

Alum: For a relatively small school that doesn't get a whole lot of funding, West does a great job motivating its students and providing a positive atmosphere. The small city of Albany certainly isn't lacking in school spirit or quality teachers. Most of the staff genuinely care about their students' success and will go above and beyond to help them with class material. The lack of funding for some academic activities like newspaper and mock trial were a bit frustrating, as money is necessary to provide students ample time to learn, contribute, and stay competitive. I graduated in 2010 so I'm not sure what has changed in terms of academic offerings. While attending, I did earn about 25 college credits which was great. I hope they continue to offer students more college credit opportunities! It's also a decent school for sports and remains pretty competitive in football.

Plus I'm not their only student but they are overall helpful!

Senior: I have always appreciated the Vale High School for the dedication it has to help students achieve their dream. The school also appreciates those who achieve their apex goals and earn accolades, showing what we call, "Viking Pride." Also, the teacher work really hard with each student and provides their needs. However, I think that they could improve when it comes to music and the arts. So far, our school only has one class related to creativity and that is Art. I feel like the school could provide enough money to start more clubs and even put on a music program.

Alliance Charter Academy

• Oregon City School District, OR

• 29 reviews

Alum: Alliance Charter Academy is dedicated to catering to the individual needs of each student through parent-teacher cooperation. This allows devoted parents to aid in the role of helping their child reach his or her full academic potential through the help of Educational Specialists and teachers. The environment created by this set up is one generally positive and excellent for learning. However, as in all schools that take a different approach to education there are occasional draw-backs resulting from their chosen method of parent involvement and tailored education. It has been my experience though that the school continually does its best to look after each and every student.

Senior: The thing I love most about my high school is how well I get to know students, as well as teachers, through 4-H, FFA, sports, church, or work. Everyone at our school knows each other, which creates a very positive and happy environment. I have a good relationship with all of my teachers, and it is easy for me to see how much they care about the success of each individual student. It is also very easy to get involved in extracurricular activities and put yourself out there. Anyone can be Enterprise is so far from an urban city, it makes it harder to relate yourself to others.

One of the things that I wish I could change about our school is the lack of diversity and the isolation from other cities. Because there isn't much diversity and

There’s not a single staff member there who isn’t full of positivity and helpfulness and sincerity in their teaching. I’m so lucky to have been a student at such a wonderful place! And the classes there! So much variety, so many programs unavailable to other schools in the area. Truly can not recommend this school enough!

Most of the teachers are easygoing and good at what they do. There's a good amount of electives to choose from and they have good sports programs as well. This year I have really seen an effort among the staff and counselors to make sure that us seniors are aware of deadlines, scholarships, and other opportunities. I love being a Wildcat!

There are so many opportunities at the school from building your own guitar to studying cancer research. Everyone does their best to help others feel included and a part of the school. Most students participate in sports and/or organizations such as Key Club or Astronomy Club, and if there is a need for a new club, they will make it. Clubs created by students include an AV club and Unity Club.

While I can't vouch for how good the engineering and technology side of the school is I can assure you that the medical program is extremely good. The teachers within the track are very supportive and very engaged in the subjects they are teaching. They also have a bunch of resources such as an autopsy table and multitudes of lab equipment.

Lincoln High School

• Portland Public Schools, OR
• 9-12
• 281 reviews

Alum: Lincoln High School is a fantastic academic school with an excellent IB program. All of the IB classes are challenging, prepare students for college, and event give them the opportunity to enter college as sophomores.
Lincoln teachers tend to be great about giving students more personalized help, and are generally very passionate about the subjects they are teaching.
Lincoln also has a many of clubs, easily catering to most students. If there is not a club that quite fits their niche, students can create one! The only true downside to the school is the intense academic culture in some parts of the school that puts pressure on students to get stellar grades, do community service, participate in clubs, and do sports. It can be very stressful if one does not know themselves and stick within the boundaries of their abilities!
