Well.. I'm a student there currently.. I am a senior... It's an alright school.. I have slowly come to realize that astoria is my best high school memory.. I am involved in the orchestra prgoram and i am very glad that we have it.. I love how this year we have a shakespeare experience class, it is really the best thing I have taken in high school.. And I think that most of the staff at the high school is wonderful! They are all awesome in their own way... Go class of 2007!!~ woot!

I'm a student there right now. lovely place. could be cleaner, but thats our own fault. Too many broken things, drinking fountains taste like aluminum water. Teachers are really nice, towards the girls anyway. Kinda expensive for public school, so I miss out on a lot. But otherwise, the school isn't TOO bad.

About the tests

In 2009-2010 Oregon used the Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (OAKS) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading and math; in grades 4, 7 and 10 in writing; and in grades 5, 8 and 10 in science. The OAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Oregon. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
