My child is in kindergarten and although everyone is nice and it is very academic based I feel that my child is more of a number to staff and administration. It is a very superficial atmosphere where my child does not feel happy or valued. It's a very unfortunate way to start an education.

This is my son's 3rd year at Danebo and we love it. There are small student to teacher ratios in the classrooms. Teachers are prepared and on time. The genuinely care about the overall well-being of the students. Core values; respect, perseverance, self-control, tolerance...all very important at Danebo. We love how all of the staff are so caring about their students and their school.

I had 2 children that went to this school for kindergarten and 2nd grade. My nephew had so many emotional problems and the staff, counselor and principle were so supportive and had so many great ideas. He flourished and got better and better throughout the year! Mrs. Healey, the kindergarten teacher, and her helpers are absolutely fantastic. Every child graduated from kindergarten with a love of school.

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.
