Scappoose Adventist School

I have two children attending SAS and find the school, staff, programs and academics to be excellent. The Christian staff cares about students and always go the extra mile. Bullying is not tolerated. Chapels, classroom worships and Bible class help students develop a personal connection with Jesus. Academics are challenging and rigorous. Students regularly use technology in the classroom. Because of the individual attention, advanced students are individually challenged, while students needing it receive extra support. I find the school a wonderful blessing and can't imagine having my children anywhere else. The music program allows my children to participate in band. My children love the winter sports program. I encourage anyone looking for excellent education for their child to look into SAS.

Very weak principal who also happens to be the 3-5 grade teacher. Too much responsibility for one person and the students are not getting the attention they need and deserve. The school board is too weak to do anything about the issue. Student enrollment will remain low until they get a new principal and a 3-5 grade teacher. The 6-8 grade teacher is AWESOME! The music program is the best part of the school. They brag about their test scores but should realize that with so few students in a school it only takes a couple students to test well to off-set the scores of the weaker students. There are students in the school who are receiving special education services. There are many other local private and charter schools as well as more than adequate public schools. Save your tuition money!
