Schools in Linn County

About schools in Linn County

Stretching from the Willamette Valley floor east into the Cascades foothills, Linn County blends agricultural flatlands with timber-country towns — and its public schools reflect that same range. Eight districts serve 43 ranked schools across communities as different as Albany and Sweet Home, with academic results that vary considerably by location. Still, the county has genuine standouts: West Albany High School ranks in the 93rd percentile statewide, and Sand Ridge Charter School in Lebanon reaches the 91st. Only five schools land in the top quartile statewide, so families should look closely at individual schools and districts rather than assuming countywide consistency.
