Forest Grove High School

Forest Grove High School sits in one of the more charming small cities in the northern Willamette Valley — close enough to Portland for big-city amenities, but with a genuine small-town feel anchored by Pacific University and a tight-knit community. The school shows real strength in English while math scores land closer to average, making it a solid fit for families who value a well-rounded experience over a purely test-driven environment. It's a good option for families drawn to a diverse, culturally rich community — Forest Grove has deep Hispanic and Latino roots — who want a neighborhood high school with character rather than the pressure-cooker atmosphere of some larger metro schools.
