Compass School

Compass School sits in Lincoln County along Oregon's rugged, misty coastline, where the pace of life tends to be quieter and more community-driven than in the Willamette Valley metro areas. Families drawn to the coastal lifestyle — beachcombing, fishing, tight-knit small towns — will find a school that reflects that close community feel, though academics here land in the lower range statewide, with English and math both below the 25th percentile. It's a good fit for families who prioritize a slower, more rooted way of life and are prepared to supplement academics at home or through outside resources.
