I went there all of elementary school and I never regretted it. The teachers are so kind and would never raise their voice unless necessary.

When I was in sixth grade here, the cops got called because two kids were fighting, and a teacher got knocked out trying to help. They offered no diversity for counselors; there were only males there. It was one of the worst schools I've seen, not only because it's a transition age, but also because of the lack of support I felt. The "student center" is a bad solution to behavior management. You get one major referral, and they take you for lunch, and you sit in a room with other kids, in silence. And it feels like the people who run the student center don't care about the students more than getting the money for their job. I had some great teachers there, and there were some great and fun times. The school offered some cool classes like astronomy, underwater robotics, etc. It also has a problem I see occurring a lot, really off-putting P.E teachers. Had us do stretches that were uncomfortable and exposing. I only had 2 P.E teachers, but one freaked me out so much I had to ask to be switched to another class. To conclude, Linus Pauling Middle School is not recommended in my opinion. I've heard that they're going to do over the school entirely and rename it to Corvallis Junior High, having only 7th and 8th grade at that school and combining 6th grade with elementary schools. So, I'm not sure how this school will end up, but my experience overall was not the greatest.

Our child is in their second year at CHS and we’ve found the staff to be attentive and engaging. They really listen to parents concerns and there’s no tolerance for bullying. This school is fiercely supportive of the Safeway and equity of each and every student. Many AP and honors classes that are challenging and engage our teen. Lots of wonderful extracurricular and the sports are fantastic too!
