London School

London School sits in the rural outskirts of Cottage Grove, a small timber-and-arts town tucked into the southern Willamette Valley where the pace is slow and neighbors tend to know each other by name. The school's scores reflect some real academic challenges, particularly in math, so families who are academically focused may want to factor that into their decision — though for those drawn to a tight-knit, small-town community where kids grow up with room to roam, the lifestyle itself has genuine appeal. Families already rooted in the area or looking for a quieter alternative to Eugene's suburbs will find a school that feels like an extension of the community around it.
