Philomath High School

After 3 years, I do not regret choosing this school district. It is small which has its good and bad points. The good points are that I have close contact with staff and what my child is doing. The bad is that there are limited resources and there is a bit of "good ol' boy" syndrome, meaning some teachers and policies are not good but will never change. Some teachers are so good, I am amazed when I hear about how much my kids are learning. (My child learned more about Shakespeare than I ever knew and aspects I could never have known) Some are so bad, I cant figure out how they can live with themselves. (a whole trimester spent studying the 1990's could never constitute a history class in my book)(huge gaps in my child's history education)

the staff are express thier own views on the student and leave the students not with their own opinion on issues but on the issues of the teachers.

Philomath High has been in this communuty for a very long time. The surrounding schools go to Philomath Blodget, Kings Valley, and Eddyville, and as such the school has students from differnt backgrounds and therefore making the students of PHS obtain useful bits of knowledge from the students as well as the teachers. It is to my knowledge that the staff goes out of their way to help the students after hours. And making the school a very friendly place and school to go to.
