My daughters behavior, social choices and decisions have declined DRASTICALLY since shes started Houck. I have countless times witnessed inappropriate dress code amungst students and administrative protocal accountability decline to almost non existent. Students being either bullied or the bullier, stealing things (expensive things) from either each other or parents/siblings at home. What are we as parents in this school/administration teaching our children is right from wrong when the wrong is not addressed. Encouraging NOT to bring/do things is not the same as enforcement of protocals. I feel the quality of our schools should be held to a higher standard and us as parents should fight the good fight for the sake of our kids and future they hold in their hands. Respect, courtesy and accountability!

Fantastic, warm, professional staff. Auburn Elementary made our family’s return to public school fabulous. My child has an IEP and had past negative experiences in Portland Public Schools. None of these difficult issues even came up at Auburn. I’m deeply grateful to everyone here for making our family so at home and accommodating my child.

Have taught in FOUR high schools in this city, and honestly this is the most positive, supportive, versatile, resilient staff I have seen. The library is incredibly student friendly, and teachers are unusually available for their students. The biggest hurdle our students have is the idea some families promote that school/education/being smart is somehow not worth the effort. Thankfully, most families do NOT encourage that way of thinking. The French and Japanese programs are outstanding here, as are culinary, arts, woodworking, and sciences. I love this community and encourage students with dreams of International study and travel to look into North Salem HS.
