EVERY YEAR THE U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT MAGAZINE NAMES ITS MOST OUTSTANDING SCHOOLS. THIS YEAR NORTH LAKE IS LISTED AS A "BRONZE" SCHOOL. (EXTERNAL LINK)

To be candid, their criteria are often unclear and some years I have wondered why we didn't make their list when I thought we were strong. Regardless - we are on their list this year as a school worthy of recognition.

There are 326 high schools in Oregon. 92 made the U.S. News list; three with gold medals, 32 with Silver medals and 62 with bronze medals. Some of the criteria include student demographics as they pertain to success in reading and math proficiency; disadvantaged students and their success as well as the schools remoteness and rural setting.

U.S. News considers all of those criteria and more when ranking schools. We have a tremendous staff and great kids and it all proves what we know to be true - NORTH LAKE IS A TERRIFIC SCHOOL!
