Sophomore: Although depending on the school, my experience with Portland Public has been good. I think some of the strongest aspects of the system itself has been the teachers and staff, along with several extracurricular options and electives in high school. Through Portland Public Schools I have grown up learning Japanese, despite any relations with Japan prior, and now am close to fluent with many people I would consider family halfway around the world.
However, growing up in a city like Portland students are definitely prone to drugs and alcohol from middle school and onward. Currently, I'm attending a PPS high school, and despite the number of great teachers, good students and numerous opportunities, a majority of my friends binge drink, vape and smoke weed.

Freshman: I absolutely love Mckay High School. The teachers, students, and environment make me feel safe and liked for who I am. The diversity is pretty amazing. Everyone gets accepted. I would say it’s a community of respect towards everyone. I enjoy the academic learning as well. Every teacher has their own way of teaching, and every way has helped me improve a lot! I completely love the coaches. I am a student athlete, I play to sports, and the support I receive from my coaches and my teacher is amazing. My teachers understand when I’m having trouble keeping track of my grades, they often ask if I need help or how I’m doing. As for my coaches they make sure that before volleyball or basketball, my grades come first. I do not regret attending Mckay High School. It completely changed my perspective on high school.

Senior: I used to get 0.8-2.5 GPAs during freshman yr in my other school district. The teachers wouldn't talk to me. I struggle with asking for help. When I did, I felt like I was dumb for needing help. Not many clubs.

But now I'm here, and finished my Junior year with a GPA of 3.5! I actually went to 2 schools in this district so I know more about it from two point of views. They have amazing clubs, basically a club for everyone. The teachers are amazing! They speak to you, make sure you are doing your best to learn. The counselors meet with students every once in awhile which is great for me. I always need someone to help me back on track and get me ready for graduation. Once in awhile they do assemblies, and they always make sure to have students enjoy it. And next year they are inserting Teacher Collaboration. Which is where teachers get together to explain how to make their lessons and classes better for students.

This district is top notch. Excited to finish my senior year here!

Roanoke Catholic School
Private School
Roanoke, VA
PK, K-12
52
Senior: Roanoke Catholic is a school that teaches students belong the classroom and prepares them for either college. In the past years, 100 percent of Catholic seniors have attended college and this year the seniors have received over 2.5 million in scholarships. I started Roanoke Catholic two years ago and it was a big change coming from public school. In public schools you could slide by without doing your homework, but at Roanoke Catholic all work is required and graded as a test grade. Roanoke Catholic does not let you fall through the cracks. I also must say the food is outstanding!!
One thing I really did not like were the uniforms. In public school you basically wore what you want, but not in private school. My first year the gentlemen had to wear a shirt and tie during the winter and in the summer a polo shirt with the school’s logo and khaki pants or shorts. This year they changed the dress code to where gentlemen could wear the polo shirt and khaki pants all year around.

Freshman: The HSD is good, but they took away District-sponsored accelerated and honors courses! As a student who has been in accelerated learning since first grade, I am ashamed that the District has sucked the steam out of the engines that have powered us to be at our most successful. Geometry, physics, and English Language Arts have been far too easy for me, and my teachers have been handcuffed from doing anything about it under their direct control. Travis Reiman is an unethical man who needs to fill in the hole he has dug. He embarrasses me. My school, Glencoe, is also in need of renovations. They need to repaint the walls, add numerous trees to the courtyard, add two courtyards in the 103-134 section of the school (email me for specifics), renovate the second floor according to the courtyards, add skylights to the 200s hallway and the 220s hallway, and add balconies within the 200s hallway and the 220s hallway.

Parent: My children attended Bend Senior High School, and it was a wonderful experience for them. The education they received helped them with their first year of college. In fact, by taking the IB and AP courses, they were well prepared for college. It made their freshman year easier! The teachers are amazing at BSHS and really care for their students.
The Bend-LaPine School District is one of the best!

Alum: I spent all of my time in grade school in the North Clackamas School District. I made great connections with a lot of my teachers and other faculty members. In high school, Rex Putnam was the perfect size because it had tons of different types of kids but still felt more like a community rather than a big school. There was a great curriculim that was challenbging, and prepared me for college. The teachers were kind and always willing to give extra help.

Alum: Teachers are good for the most part and seem to genuinely care about students. The introduction of the International Baccalaureate (IB) program was very unpopular among advanced students, who in general preferred the AP program that it replaced. As exams are often submitted for grading to schools from different countries, it is difficult for ambitious students to know what to expect or how to tailor their work to their audience.

Senior: I have spent all of my education career in the North Medford School District, and I can honestly say that there is no other school that I'd rather be attending. The teachers that I've had, have been so supportive and understanding. They push all of their work to the side in order to focus all of their attention on you to make sure that you understanding the work. They have all made my Senior year less stressful and give me the extra push I need to move forward to college. If it wasn't for my teachers, I wouldn't have the motivation I do today.

Senior: One of the many things I love about Reynolds High School is their diversity. There are many students of different ethics and culture that Reynolds has learned to embrace the difference in our skin colors. Another great thing I love about Reynolds is their resources, especially for college. They have a great AVID program that helps students with their college research, scholarships, and applications. And we have a College & Career Center for students who need help wanting to do something more with their life. They also have College Possible, helping students with ACT/SAT and college applications. Reynolds High School offers a way for student to become better if they try to find the path.

Middle School Student: Springfield School District is a good school district. It has a lot of good teachers. They pay attention to the students needs and make sure they are treated with kindness and respect. The only thing is I wouldn't really know about the clubs and sports because I am not much of an athlete or sociable person. They teach and explain lessons really well and also, homework is great. Usually, schools give 5+ hours of homework but of all the schools in this district, most of them just do about 2 hours of homework which is amazing. They made school fun and easy. Another thing though that is a bit iffy though is they don't really look for bullying or signs of depression in the children.

Junior: The school district offered numerous amounts of support for anything and everything. There was real counsellors comitted to helping the students, and I heard it has helped. They provided resources for college or other volunteer opportunities. They encourage invididualism as well as cooperation. The schools pave the future of my generation and countless of other generations. One thing I would like to see change is student representation, the students need to have a say.

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!

Parent: Our district not only offers rigorous academics, it more importantly supports students in a truly holistic way. Many, many students join clubs, music groups, sports, study groups....It is impossible to drive past West Linn High school at almost any time of the day or evening, weeknight and weekend, and not see kids, adults, teachers and coaches moving all over campus. We moved into this school district specifically because of the stellar reputation of the West Linn- Wilsonville schools. Our children have thrived here.

Senior: I love the teachers. They are so helpful and some really do care about you! I wish that they would have better ways of reaching out to students, especially for seniors about upcoming events and what you need to do for college. Also, the process for switching classes is very difficult. You are only able to switch out of an AP class if you go into another. The only way for anything to really change is if you have a parent or guardian email multiple times or if they go in and talk to an administrator. I hope to see some of these policies changed in the future

Senior: You will definately be ready for college at Lake Oswego. The teachers are great, and it's typical to be on the honor roll. As it's in a wealthier district, the facilities are excellent (and I believe we are about to get a new weight room). The problem with that is both the parents and the students are incredibly entitled. The student population is also about 80% white. The administration likes to try and involve itself in areas students can take care of themselves, such as Homecoming Court. Overall, it's an academically excellent school with some issues pertaining to student body and administration.

Senior: I have been apart of this school district for my entire school career thus far. I began in in kindergarten and will graduate from the high school here in Mcminnville. I was most impressed with my elementary school, as I was apart of a dual language program. This program readied me for lots of things in the future and provided me with a good basis for the rest of my life and learning career. The middle school and high school both provided me with lots of opportunities and I think they taught me lots of good morals and values that shaped who I am.

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.

Klamath County School District
School District

Alum: I feel that I was very fortunate to have gotten the opportunity to attend school in the Klamath County School District for all twelve years of my education. The way the school district runs the schools allows them to all be their own type of school as well as having a standard that the school must live up to. As we have advanced as a country, I have also seen an advancement in the schooling system within Klamath County. The importance of the overall health of not only the students but the faculty as well has increased tremendously especially since the establishment of the Blue Zone Project. As for changes I wish to see within the School District, it would be nice to see more funding put into the courses offered in high schools and allowing for more electives rather than the typical core classes. I believe it is important for students to learn the core curriculum as well as life skills which is hard to do when there is no home-ec class or no finance class.

As a very diverse school, it is great to see many different culture and for me being Asian, surround by peers that share the same culture as I do. As being a part of student council, I had the privilege to interact with a mass amount of the people within the school. Throughout my whole high school journey, I've never really had an incident where I felt things were unfair or other people bully me. I was surrounded by teachers who cared about me and my education and people around me who appreciate who I was

Senior: There is an abundance of AP classes available for students. The community and faculty members are supportive of your goals. They try hard to ensure every incoming student is aware of the opportunities they have and the opportunities they should take. Plenty of extracurricular activities. Overall, a great school. More college preparation classes or SAT/ACT readiness classes would be good. A student could definitely utilize the paths at GP and make not only a wonderful high school experience, but if they do not pursue it then it will not be as great.

Senior: Roseburg High School has great teachers, and provides an opportunity to learn. Inspiring teachers, good lesson plans, and a strong sense of community make up most of the years at RHS. However there is little racial, physical, or emotional diversity, making it difficult to have sincere classroom debates. Roseburg High School does phenomenally well for the budget, size, and location of the school.

French American International School

Parent: French American Int'l School has been wonderful for my two daughters. Not only do they teach high-quality language immersion but the arts, technology, music and PE are all infused in their core learning. The middle school (Gilkey) gives fantastic structure for those awkward tween years. Small class sizes and a dedicated group of teachers who have been there forever make a vibrant learning environment. The IB program is an added bonus that enhances their studies considerably. The IB load starts early and continues all the way through middle school, setting them up for a rigorous high school curriculum. Not all immersion schools provide this level of high-quality studies. French American walks their talk. Plus, they are building a new facility for their middle school! It is definitely worth checking out. The one drawback is the pick up/drop off process. It gets bogged down pretty fast.
