Our daughter previously went to Bolton and we were unimpressed. Cedar Oak is amazing, I'm so thankful we decided to take our daughter there. The teachers are amazing and the staff are very involved. The school structure and space are organized well and the playground gives the kids tons of room to explore. They have a very robust garden literacy class and lots of activities to stretch their minds, learn, and grow.

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.

if u hate ur kids bring them here. was a student here and they were horrible to me and my family. would never recommend this place.
