Junior: Many opinions & thoughts on Portland Public Schools are controversial. There are good & bad opinions. I want to review for the good. For instance we have an amazing dance program which has been rated #1 best dance performances, from the 90's until Now. From our hip-hoping' beats to our delicate inviting ballet. We strive to keep our dances rooted & exciting. We also have an amazing Girls Basketball Team. The way they carry the ball in the court is extraordinary. The boy's could use some tips. The only change we need at our school is new reconstruction & renovating. In Conclusion to this review I can truly say "YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN A DEMO"- Ikeynah Stevenson, 17 years old.

  Rating 3.87 out of 5  250 reviews

Senior: I’ve been going to school in the Beaverton School District since kindergarten and I’m a senior currently. The district has been increasingly more supportive of BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities in recent years. Not all teachers and faculty I’ve come across have been amazing, but there are many that have left lasting impacts on my life and have helped shape me into the adult I am today. Online school through the district has been outstanding during Covid. The only thing I could say negatively about a few of the in person schools I attended within the district is that while 504 programs are handled well, there could be more support and understanding for those who have IEPs and 504 plans....

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!...

Senior: My overall experience with Bend-Lapine was positive! The teachers do a very good job of being a available for students who need extra help, and there is not a lot of trouble with bully, since the student population is pretty excepting. However, I don’t feel like the schools did a very good job reaching out to students about their mental health during online learning or gave students mental health resources that were needed. Overall I feel like my experience has prepared me well for college.... Read 67 reviews

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.... Read 45 reviews

It felt like all types of people were there, not only of one class, race, or belief(semi on belief, religion not talked about much).... Read 69 reviews

  Rating 4.13 out of 5  32 reviews

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.... Read 32 reviews

  Rating 3.93 out of 5  61 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.... Read 61 reviews

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.... Read 46 reviews

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....

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.... Read 31 reviews

I would dock half a star off for the food (it sucks), but once campus reopens, the student-ran cafe is the place to be for food! (it is a bit pricey though)... Read 58 reviews

  Rating 3.83 out of 5  53 reviews

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 53 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 29 reviews

Junior: Great resources and capable people willing to work with you!!! 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: Attending McMinnville High School has been a wonderful experience especially during this pandemic period. 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.

Alum: I love the teachers in Centennial School District. Although not all were perfect, most of the teachers in Centennial School District really cared about their students and were invested in their student's academic success. I graduated from this school in 2020, and I got to say, my overall experience was a memorable one. My peers were interested in the topics that the teacher was teaching.

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....
