This school is fairly average despite the district's reputation. The staff is very welcoming, but there are some teachers that are toxic and overly strict. Student behavior is very poor, with little to no consequences. The new administration is trying to set boundaries but many students don't care. Bullying here is rampant, especially towards LGBTQ kids. I would not send your children here if they are especially bright or sensitive.

I'm shocked that this school keeps making the top of rankings, but we are talking about Oregon. It is huge (1600+ kids) and there are only a few counselors to handle the needs of students regarding special education, college advising, etc. Like in most schools, many of the teachers are fantastic but their overuse of flipped classrooms and subs has really harmed students. I believe the reason why students do well here has less to do with what the school offers and more to do with affluent families and neighborhoods that can afford private tutoring, college prep consultants, and enrichment activities. Your student will really notice the difference when they arrive at college and study with the students from around the country who had college prep coursework. Finally, the school is lacking diversity- racial, economic, and religious, to name a few. There are, or were, pending lawsuits regarding racial discrimination against staff. I moved here because of the good schools but, if I could do it all over, I would never send my kids to the high school.

My 2 daughters have attended Willamette Primary. The teachers really do care about the students. The 6.0 rating is ridiculous and a symptom of COVID. Our older daughter was very well prepared for middle school and high school.We appreciate the commitment the staff and teachers have to the students, school, PTA, and community.Thank you Willamette for being and incredibly thoughtful and safe space for our kiddos.
