Innovations Academy

Innovations Academy serves students in Wasco County, and while its academic performance currently sits near the lower end of Oregon's statewide rankings, its name suggests an intentional approach to learning that may appeal to families looking for something a little different from a traditional school setting. The school is located in a region defined by the dramatic Columbia River Gorge and the city of The Dalles — a small but historically rich community where outdoor life, agriculture, and a tight-knit local culture shape everyday living. Families rooted in this corner of Oregon who value community connection and are willing to engage closely with their school to support academic growth may find it worth a closer look.
