10/10 I am happy my daughter went here. I’m not sure where this site got it’s information but they are above state average. They are one of the top schools in Oregon. They even have a sign that was awarded to them to show this achievement.

No one at this school is there to help you, teachers resort to yelling and screaming as punishment and the majority of them don’t know how to do their job. I’m lucky and managed to get a good education from the school while I was there but because I’m transgender I faced discrimination on the bus, in the classroom, and everywhere else. Multiple teachers would remove or lower their masks in the classroom during the mask mandate putting students at risk and I remember multiple times where the principal bragged about blowing the schools budget on the cafeteria. I was called a problem child by the avid teacher who regularly made me cry and any study all time outside of class for avid was during lunch. In fact the avid program for the middle school tries to balance advisory, health and avid. It doesn’t work and I failed all of my classes while I was enrolled in the program. Not only that but when they handed out our ID cards I was shamed by a teacher who made a point of yelling at me and making me uncomfortable for not telling her about my name change. And before I told my teachers I was transgender and requested they call me by another name they’d refuse to call me by it because another student was in the class with the same name. The seventh grade history teacher also told his students misinformation about the economy when we were learning about it and that probably wasn’t the only time either. All in all you should definitely stay away from this school, the special ed program is horrible and the regular classes are only slightly better. Even the students are violent as I’ve had threats of my families murder made several times.

I was a student and it sucked. Not the students that's normal but every other aspect sucked. And 3 years later kids of all ages are saying the same thing.
