Please ignore the "rating" on GreatSchools and look instead at what is actually happening at Scott School. I have one kiddo in the English program and one in the Spanish program, and we couldn't be happier with the education, the friendships, the experiences, and the community at Scott. The student body is incredibly diverse--perhaps the most diverse in Oregon--and many families are immigrants and first-generation Americans from all over the world. Administrators, staff, and teachers are committed to supporting all families, and the families take care of each other as well. The principal is dedicated and hard-working and every teacher we've had has been amazing. The kids have specials (music, art, dance, library, PE) every day, and there are opportunities for after-school and extracurricular activities as well. I've met families in the area who never even considered Scott due to its low rating, but they are missing out on a wonderful experience for themselves and their kids.

I don't know where this information is being pulled from but it is significantly out of date. The school's name is no longer Madison but McDaniel. It's a great school, great teachers and a significant number of AP classes offered. Also, this seems to rank based on test scores. The problem is that testing is no longer required, and many students opt out. And it's a dubious method of educational evaluation, regardless. As parents, we have been very satisfied with the education that our daughter has received there.
