Alum: I genuinely loved being a student here! I had great friends, amazing extracurricular opportunities and the new building is stunning! I was pushed academically but always had great support. School culture was generally very positive as far as high schools go. Yes there is the odd complaint but that is true for everywhere. There is not another school I would have rather gone to in the area (public or private). This school is truly private school quality at a public school price.... Read 270 reviews

Junior: I have had an overall great experience with my school district! I've had amazing teachers who I can always count on to help me when I need a little extra guidance, even after school. There have also been so many awesome opportunities to stay engaged and social through my school. Whether that be sports, football games, prom, homecoming, volunteering, etc. It always feels like there is an event going on where you can show some school spirit and be involved. I've made so many awesome memories at my school over the years that I'll always remember. However, Id say the downside has been some of the teachers I have had in the past who don't seem to engage with or want to get to know their students. If I could change anything, It would be to see more one on one interaction between teachers and students so we can build stronger connections all around.... Read 253 reviews

Junior: This district, no matter how others see it, l believe to be running to the ground. It has for the getting more and more loose, and I feel as though the purpose of the district, (to help provide education for the youth of America) is slowly slipping and watering down. School has become more and more about making it easy for the students, and less about what will actually help the students in the future(that of which being a good work ethic and ability to work under pressure well)....

Alum: My experience in this school district was positive as I joined the district as a freshman in high school and was quickly welcomed. The sports provided allowed for me to meet many people before school even started! Besides from sports, I was involved in leadership which allowed for meeting many more people. Leadership lead to many opportunities whether it be meeting people in the community or even those outside the community. I got to meet many people in the district whether it be from other high schools, feeder schools, admin center people, etc. I am lucky to be in leadership and be able to meet these people. The district did try hard to focus on listening to student voices so I have to acknowledge that, however, no thing is perfect so there is always place for improvement.... Read 147 reviews

  Rating 4.15 out of 5  72 reviews

Junior: I love the teachers and administration however, I don’t like the new 4 point grading system. It makes it extremely hard to succeed especially for students similar to me who typically do well in school. I have still upheld a 4.0 but barely. To expand further on the teachers, almost all teachers in our district make efforts to connect with us as students and take almost every opportunity to work with us and help us succeed. I am very appreciative of our administration as well. They have helped me overcome hardships with students and teachers. They also have helped me plan my future and become confident in a plan of action with college, my career and any personal goals I desire to accomplish through the span of my life. I am not only excited but inspired as to what I have ahead in my future of education. I look forward to achieving my goals and learning and expanding more into my passions, interests and hobbies. The administration also does a phenomenal job at being welcoming and kind... Read 72 reviews

Senior: The Medford School District is a very good school district. They focus their work on the student and their needs. They also work their best to include all students. The only thing that may need some work is noticing the bulling and making fun of problems. My brother was getting picked on for around a month and none of the teachers noticed it. Other students helped him but the teacher should have seen the bullying in class.... Read 37 reviews

  Rating 3.56 out of 5  50 reviews

Alum: I was a part of the Gresham-Barlow School District from kindergarten through senior year of high school. I had a very positive experience in Deep Creek Elementary School with activites like Links to Learning and field trips being the higher points. I loved the scholastic bookfairs and the art and music classes. In middle school -- Deep Creek Damascus K through 8 -- and high school -- Sam Barlow High School -- I loved the teachers and the theatre and choir departments. My most negative experiences had to do with the lack of support in math classes and college preparation I received when I was in Sam Barlow High School. However, the extracurricular activities of SBHS hold by far my most positive experiences.... Read 50 reviews

Sporting events and things like powderpuff were a defining part of my experience. I loved being a part of a big school, it meant that you could make a new friend nearly every day.

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.... Read 54 reviews

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!... Read 34 reviews

Klamath Community College is a college that helps every ethnicity students to get involved in the school activities making them feel welcome, even if their first language is not English. There is always a student, teacher or school administrator available to you. Talking about classes and classes, to be more specific talking about the business program that was the one that attend to. The instructors are really helpful and the classes are really interesting. You can tell that they enjoy teaching about business. Also, as required for my degree I had to take some accounting classes and some teachers give the opportunity to some students to work with them to start gaining accounting experience in the real workplace. I do not know how the rest of the degrees worked in this school because again I graduated with a business degree, but believe me when I tell you that if I could take the course again I would...

Senior: I haven't had to experience any other school district besides my own, but from the stories that I've heard of other schools, I have a really supportive and top-notch school district. Thanks to my parents, they put their time and effort into investing a great school district for me. The friends I made along the way were not bad, and there wouldn't really be much to change. In junior high, I thought that some of the rooms such as the locker rooms and bathrooms were a bit dirty and old, but that was about the worst experience. I didn't experience much bullying so I can't tell my experience from that side. Nevertheless, my overall time spent here were really good, I cherish each one of my friendships and relationships from the bottom of my heart.... Read 37 reviews

The teachers there have always done their best to provide me with the help I needed when necessary. There are numerous opportunities to challenge myself in AP or College credit courses, with teachers that are dedicated to thoroughly dive into the material and make learning a enjoyable time. Especially during this new school year, our staff is committed to making sure we are safe and healthy while also being able to celebrate our time as a class with plenty of school spirit.

Senior: As someone who grew up with learning disability and continue to work with a visual impairment, I found the teacher and counselors to be my biggest supporters in my pursuit of higher education which I previously considered unattainable. They worked with me to develop ways to help improve inaccessibility that some students face in classrooms, both for me and future students. And with that, I hope that there can be more funding towards technology in the classroom that helps students with disabilities to not only learn, but thrive outside the district. I hope more people can help come to continue discovering ways to help all student diversities.... Read 38 reviews

Senior: I so far have had a pretty good experience in the Roseburg high school district. There are many educational opportunities which I think is very nice; many different electives to explore, Honors classes, dual enrollment classes Yas! We have some very nice educational resources, though don’t always have access to them. Some teachers aren’t the greatest/classes perhaps wasteful… could have learned a lot more. Though there are also some great teachers. I think it’s dumb that some honors classes don’t get college credit when lower classes do ( like honors 11 math and lower pre calculus for example). Had some fun, but also didn’t have the funnest time lol but that’s just me! Need healthier food options too I’m begging for the sake of our future generation!... Read 22 reviews
