School Overview

Tucked into the small college town of Philomath, just a few miles west of Corvallis, this high school punches well above its size with math and English scores that rival much larger districts in the state. The tight-knit community feel — where teachers tend to know students by name and families are deeply involved — makes it a natural fit for parents who want a rigorous academic environment without the anonymity of a big suburban school. With Oregon State University nearby and the outdoor recreation of the Coast Range practically at the doorstep, Philomath offers a genuinely appealing quality of life to go along with one of the stronger academic programs in the state.
