I'm actually not a parent, and in fact, I attend this school right now. I'm a sophomore at WLHS, and Im eternally grateful to my parents for sending me to this high school. The teachers are all engaging, smart, and willing to help if you get off track. Free tutoring is constantly available and easily

I almost never see cliques that exclude or make fun of other people, and if they exist, the cliques themselves aren't considered cool or fun to hang out with. I would personally recommend attending this school to anyone. The teachers, students, buildings, music and arts, sports, etc. are all top-notch, spectacular. Read less

I thought the academic programs were excellent. I went to Lincolon High School in Porltand which is supposed to be a great academic school and it is, but I thought West Linn was just as good if not better. Great school with unbelievable teachers that you can connect with on a personnel level. Great

West Linn High school is probably one of the toughest public shcools in the united states. I have to say i have never seen the principal in my entire time at west linn. The staff has no control of the kids. the place is filled with drugs and stuff. Although it has its bads its goods come in academics

If your daughter our son has moved from a small town with a ok to bad school then avoid any West Linn school at all. In the Untied states were about half a year to a year ahead of other schools and its very diffucult. Overall theres amazing extracurricular programs and we have a great football team (most of the time). Just stay away from West linn if you can Read less

West Linn has a facade of quality. High achieving students will achieve. Teachers seem good overall, however the lack of maturity in adminstrative staff seems to lend an air of foolishness. Both the administration and counseling department, seem sub-par and inept--subject to petty indulgences and gossip
... Read more and inappropriate use of their power. Counseling center has a number of employess with indifferent to elitest attitude. Many of same employees seem undereducated for their jobs or complacent about student achievement or their own.School has a huge gap with wealthy students and many less fortunate students, but adminstration has not bridged this gap in any meaningful way so students are in a sometimes vicious and superficial environment. We are on the 'wealthy end' and hate what the school seems to be teaching our kids. Socially, this is a horrendous school to place any student in and should be avoided at all costs. Read less

Overall a good school. There are high standards for the students, and most do pretty well. Nice students, but the school tends to be pretty clique-y, but aren't most high schools? I would say there is a good learning atmosphere here and that it is preparing me well for college.
