Santiam High School

not so fond of the schools councler i think she puts a big damper on some of the students and keeps them from exceeding like they should.

I have to agree with a review below. Small in size but big in heart. This school has great teachers who sincerely care about their students. Team spirit is HUGE at this school. The community is also a big part of the school by cheering them on and coming out to support the teams. All schools have their ups and downs...this school may not have some electives students want.. but you don't always get what you want... I'ts a great school and would recommend it to any parent! GO WOLVERINES!

I transfered in my junior year and was quite the little rebel when first entering the small school it was culture shock, the teachers made me feel right at home. Yes santaim doesnt have choir,band, art or home ec. But it makes up with everything else and the school has amazing school spirit coming from a cheerleader. All in all. Great school if you get the chance go to it.

I liked having a small high school, but there are definitely the downfalls - like very little electives. No art, minimal computer classes, no music.. I wish there was more funding for the creative classes. Relationships with teachers tend to be really good though, because it's so 1-on-1. Basically, the limitations of a small school make it hard for someone to excel and work towards a dream.

Great School. Small in size but big at heart. Great teachers, good students. Teachers know every kid by name. School spirit is amazing, and even the community is a big supporter of the school. Not to mention parent teacher interaction and conferences are plentiful, which is great!

This school is pretty standard; there's nothing special about it. They don't have as many electives as they should, such as art, choir, band, and some computer classes, but it is quite decent.
