Oregon City is mostly white kids in suburbs or nice condos, however the
high school consists of not only the city, but the surrounding more rural and “less fortunate” areas. People may call it the school with the “most poverty” in the area, but that’s because they’re most likely from the surrounding mega-rich/extremely wealthy areas. (Area schools include: Lake Oswego
High School, Lakeridge
High School, West Linn
High School, and Clackamas
High School.) This school is very far from the poverty line in the grand scheme of things and majority of the students.
The school is terrible though. They sweep student problems, (mental health, abuse, sexual assault), under the rug. There was a scandal in 2022 over a student committing heinous acts to another student and giving him a platform to speak on it to the entire school claiming he had “grown.” This caused several massive protests in school grounds and staff refused, for the most part, did nothing and didn’t recognize their wrongs. There were multiple teachers who publicly stood with the students, but administration was actively trying to fight back against it. The principal resigned after this whole fiasco.
It claims great academic success. It can only “show good marks” because any time a student seems to be dragging down the stats they cart them off to one of the alternative schools.
