Senior: As someone who is attending Madison High School, I greatly appreciate the diversity found in my peers as it allows me to experience multiple cultures. We celebrate multicultural groups and school diversity each year with a cultural fair to allow students to experience a portion of these distinct traditions. Having friends, teammates, classmates, and teachers that represent these communities has forced me to be more aware of the obstacles these individuals face with regard to barriers to income opportunities or racial discrimination in our society. I am far less ignorant of these situations than if I had gone to a higher income or less diverse school. Although I am fond of the school itself, the administration could use some work as it is not very involved and most people are upset at the things it lets slip through. It would be better if there were more community input on decisions.

School District
Salem, OR
221 reviews
Senior: The Salem- Keizer school district has always been focused on doing what is best for the students within the community. Through strong personal connections and dedication, they have built an empire of opportunities and memories for the students, and our graduation and succession rates are at an all time high. Their ability to problem solve and communicate with the citizens in the area during unimaginable circumstances has lead to a healthy and happy community.

Sophomore: This school district is outstanding! The staff is great and kind. Academically, the district does an amazing job! Diversity is definitely present. But most importantly the schools are very safe and there is a lot of check-ins with students. Lots of parents meetings and involvement, however mostly optional. High schoolers have many club, elective, and sports options. Overall, I LOVE my school district.

Hillsboro School District
School District
Hillsboro, OR
126 reviews
Senior: I am currently a senior at Century High School in the Hillsboro School District and overall I have had a very positive experience with my school and district. Coming from an English speaking household, this school district provided a Bilingual Program where I learned to speak Spanish fluently and earn the State of Oregon Seal of Biliteracy. Due to the diversity I also had the opportunity to learn about many different cultures and religions. I have taken many college level classes throughout high school and have had good experiences with teachers, classes, and the overall academic portion of this district. I am a Student Representative on the HSD School Board and Site Council because I care deeply about my community and with becoming more involved with it I have come to appreciate and love it even more!

Bend-LaPine School District
School District
Bend, OR
57 reviews
Senior: As a student in the Bend- LaPine school district and a daughter of teachers, I respect and see the extra work being done by administrators and staff. The culture of the schools are full of school spirit and consist of focused learning environments. The one thing I would change would be the construction of the schools. There never seems to be enough parking or the layout “isn’t safe” so the schools have to back track and spend money that could have been avoided if done right the first time. Other than that I enjoyed my high school experience!

North Clackamas School District
School District
Milwaukie, OR
54 reviews
Senior: I think this school district has so many opportunities for their students. I am going to be a senior at Clackamas High School and I love this school specifically. The teachers seem to genuinely care about their students personal and school life. The extra curricular are fantastic and really help students feel well rounded. They make the students feel fulfilled in life with other activities besides the constant school work. The district I think strives for an accepting and loving continuity among students. Overall I have felt safe and respected. If there were to be a mishap with a student they took it very seriously. So bullying wasn’t tolerated which is great. I think they really do try and help with getting kids ready for college life. It can feel stressful but it’s always nice to know I have so many teachers that are willing to help me on my journey. They give you a calendar with everything you should complete. It is helpful. I love this school district and I feel very thankful!

Sophomore: I moved into the Eugene school district from the Independence Salem District. While very young it was easy to reintegrate myself into this brand new community. Of course there are ups and downs, there always are, no school system is perfect. However, it was easy to see the district trying to better themselves, and help every student they could, in any way possible. I am glad I moved to this district, it definitely made my over all experience a good one.

School District
Medford, OR

Senior: What I like about the district is the academic opportunities and the teachers. They are always willing to help. But the district is low o funding and putting the money towards some things I find unnecessary for our education. Because of this, they are also giving opportunities that were originally available to all students now only available for student with free and reduced lunch. For example, they used to pay for college courses and textbooks if you went to college off campus. That now is only available to students with the free and reduced lunch. They are able to take college classes at college, while others can't. That should remain an option open for all students, as it is a great opportunity.

Tigard-Tualatin School District
School District
Tigard, OR
50 reviews
Senior: I am a senior at Tigard high school and have had a very pleasant experience because I got involved very early in my high school career. My freshman year I joined as many clubs as I could and played two sports that kept me busy. I got to meet so many amazing people through these activities and it allowed me to feel more connected to Tigard in the long run. I loved everything about my athletic career at Tigard high especially my softball career. I am now going to play softball at the collegiate level and without the amazing Tigard high school softball program I don’t know where I would be today. One main reason I love being a tiger is because of the wonderful teachers. Online school is hard for me but the amazing teachers here have made it a way better experience than I thought it would be. My education here was very challenging, but also pushed me to my limits. I am glad I have gotten the opportunity to grow as a person and with my friends at Tigard high school.

Junior: I have enjoyed going to Barlow these three years so far. The teachers and staff are always ready to help others, and they always try to smile. This is the positive energy I really appreciate. As school can be stressful, it's refreshing to know that the people around you want to see you exceed. The greatest trait about the school is simply that it feels real and together, this is all I look for in a school. I couldn't care less about the appearance of a school, I simply want to grow my knowledge and Barlow has succeeded in allowing me to do this each year.

Senior: From elementary to middle school and then high school, all that I attended were in the Reynolds School District. The teachers have always been friendly and helpful. There is a welcoming vibe in each school, and since a lot of the schools have been remodeled, they look even nicer and updated! I have never had a problem with these schools, any issues that I have seen with other students have been resolved. The teachers in the high school, especially in the AP classes, are passionate and it made learning from them more fun and inviting. The high school does have a reputation but I have always loved this school and don't see why there are negative views towards it.

Niche User: During my time in the Springfield School District I found it be very community involved. The Lane community supported the schools and made sure we got the supplies necessary to have a successful education. If you needed school supplies, or clothing the district would help you to attain those things so you strive in school. If you needed assistance in getting a job, getting into a school or anything the community and the school district would make sure to give you the best resources to set you on the right path.

David Douglas School District
School District
Portland, OR
50 reviews
Senior: As a Senior at David Douglas, I have seen and experience what classes are like. These years are very crucial because right as you start your Freshman year, colleges should already be on your mind. Because of this, I believe David Douglas offers exceptional preparation in the extracurricular fields, but not very much for academics. This all depends on what college you are trying to get into, but colleges mainly look at AP classes. With such a small selection of AP classes at DD, colleges won't be attracted to it as much. But, I believe they can change this.

West Linn-Wilsonville School District
School District
Tualatin, OR
29 reviews
Junior: My experience in the West Linn-Wilsonville School District has been very positive overall! All the teachers are very helpful and encouraging. I feel welcomed by the environment and find it very empowering how students feel safe to protest outside the school. Not only are academic classes great, the arts programs are incredible as well. I have taken band for three years and our band programs are exceptional! We may not win state every year but we are very supportive of one another and we love to make music. One flaw is that there are very few students of color and almost no teachers of color. By hiring a more diverse group of teachers students of color would feel more comfortable at school. I also have noticed that some clubs and activities are prioritized over others. As a dancer at West Linn High School, I would appreciate if we were allowed more time in the main gym. I find that we often get second choice when it comes to who gets the main gym.

Greater Albany Public School District
School District
Albany, OR
19 reviews
Alum: I loved my time in the GAPS school district. I graduated in 2017 from West Albany High School, and I have a younger sister attending the school now. The school culture is absolutely beyond compare; the two rival schools came together multiple times for community support, and there are many opportunities to reach out and serve the city of Albany. The biggest area needed of needed improvement is quality of facilities. The schools were built in the 1950s, and the buildings have been updated only a few times after that. However, with the recent passing of a million-dollar bond in Albany, the buildings will likely be updated soon!

Oregon City School District
School District
Oregon City, OR

Sophomore: Even though this is my first year in this district and i'm starting it in distance learning I think its amazing. There are so many great options for classes and sports. Not to mention the teachers are very kind and understanding. They try to be as aware as possible about what kind of help you need and then try to supply you with it. I think out of all the schools I have attended it is one of my favorites, and that's saying something considering the fact that I have attended 9 different schools. Speaking of many schools, I love how inviting the Oregon City School district is. Me and my younger sister were nervous about starting somewhere new during distance learning but they did amazing making sure we were comfortable and all set for the year. I also love how accepting they are. As a member of the LGBTQ community I felt very welcomed and accepted when i started school. I think the Oregon City School district is a phenomenal school district.

Parent: Our family has 3 separate experiences. My kids were in Terrebonne School through 5th grade; it was well-organized, teachers were great, and we loved the small-town feel, which was a bit more conservative. In middle school they switched to Central Christian, which has been wonderful! We felt that was a safer environment than public middle school, it lines up with our values, and the teachers are amazing. For myself, I've been taking classes at Central Oregon Community College; I have been challenged and stretched beyond what I thought I could do a year ago, but I'm learning and growing, and it's going to help me get a better job. I'm extremely thankful for the opportunity!

Lake Oswego School District
School District
Lake Oswego, OR
28 reviews
Alum: The school district has always been good about communicating with families, arranging/organizing events where people of the community can voice their opinion and concerns, and as far as academic excellence goes has held it to be a standard. The question that their want for said "academic excellence" is, where's the line?- So, although I think that, yes, academia is super important, so is understanding and compassion. Having graduated recently from this district I know that those two qualities where surly lacking. Saying that I wasn't ready for college right off the bat sent administrative people into a tailspin and would often leave me feeling guilty.

Senior: Corvallis School District is an accepting place where they will do anything in their power to help students. Corvallis prides itself on being progressive and the attitude within the school district reflects this. Most teachers are extremely understanding and will give you any assistance you require. There are classes that help you with college preparedness, and the Beyond CHS office will give you any information on colleges, scholarships, and jobs. As a senior, Beyond CHS is my lifeblood, and they are willing to give free advice to any students who need it. There is very little bullying, and when there is, our awesome behavioral specialists will help in any way that they can. Corvallis School District is an amazing district that will accept you, advocate for you, and prepare you for whatever path you choose.

Niche User: Klamath county has great schools here in town. I went to Mazama High so really I can only speak for their part, but from my experiences they are great. They provide great resources to all students, in dual credit courses they make more like a college class to let students get their feet in the water with how college will be like. I am now attending Klamath Community College, and they have so many resources provided for all the students. They provide small class sizes, and I believe that helps professors help more students who are in need of it.

Grants Pass School District
School District

Senior: I have been to four different high schools, and did a few online semesters. Although, the Grants Pass school district has no competition. As a freshman, I struggled with attendance and motivation overall. I went to Grants Pass High school throughout my sophomore year. I held straight A's and loved coming to school. Then, I went back to Kansas during my junior year. There, my old habits that I had my freshman year returned. Luckily, my senior year I returned to Grants Pass. I currently attend a smaller campus named "Gladiola". The teachers I’ve met have inspired me in many different ways. The grants pass school district will forever be who my success is due to. All of my teachers have shown me that I should feel proud of all accomplishments, even the small ones. I will always remember Grants Pass as the place that helped me move forward with my life.

Senior: I love Centennial and all the friendships and connections to teachers I’ve made. Centennial doesn’t have great funding but are doing a pretty decent job with what they have considering the low income majority of the school body. Some teachers are amazing, but some are very sub par. Centennial needs to listen to there students, because the teachers that do are the ones that thrive. Also need to improve college readiness. Overall a great community.

I liked all my teachers and they helped me to succeed and be the best I can. Some of my favorite classes were the trade ones. I especially liked woodworking, it was lots of fun and I learned a lot. There is not a lot of diversity at the school, but there is not much in roseburg either. I would have also liked there to be better food, because the food was not the best.

Foxcroft School

Freshman: I love Foxcroft! I love everything about it. From the food to students. I thrive here and always feel excepted. Classes are more challenging to prepare us for college. If we ever have a question or need help with a class we can go see any of the teachers after school during tutorial. After tutorial, we have required sports. The coaches make sports so much fun and easy to learn for beginners. The campus is so beautiful and there are so many fun activities to do around campus. We have events as a school and as a community will always support one another. The school is split up into Foxes and Hounds. It's a fun rivalry between the two. We have Fox/Hound gamed such as field hockey, basketball, and riding. Anyone can participate. There are also sing sing which is sorta like a prep rally and it's a fun escape from school. Foxcroft is the most amazing school and I could not have asked for a better blessing in my life.

A diversity of strengths for well-rounded students that simply can’t be matched by other private schools in Northern Virginia. Students genuinely support each other, even after they become alumni. It’s not uncommon for alumni to return from prestigious universities to share how well the school prepared them for the academic challenges ahead. Also, the robotics program is literally world class!
