School Overview

The Dalles sits along the Columbia River in the Columbia River Gorge, a rugged and scenic stretch of Oregon that draws outdoor enthusiasts and families looking for a slower pace of life away from the Portland metro area. Colonel Wright Elementary serves a diverse student community in this working-class river town, and while its academic scores currently fall in the lower range statewide, the school is part of a tight-knit district working to support kids across a range of backgrounds and needs. Families drawn to the Gorge lifestyle — hiking, windsurfing, and a genuine small-town feel — will find a school community that reflects the unpretentious, hardworking character of The Dalles itself.
