A great, honest school that is safe and small. It's awesome that all my teachers know my name and, even as a freshmen, I still get to meet a large portion of the upper-class men. The music is also a big plus here! Many opportunities to be involved in sports or other community building groups. Rotten apples do pass by here, however. Those students are dealt with

Terrific opportunities exist at Seaside High School for students who want to pursue them. Despite a great spectrum in its students' circumstances, Seaside's staff, students and school community are friendly, supportive and tolerant. Our kids graduated well-prepared for their subsequent university studies.

SHS is the best starting back with the leadership of Harold Riggan, Ed Rippet, Carl Odin to Don Wickersham and Sheila Roley. The staff is always looking for ways to enhance student learning. They care deeply about the studdnts.

The school facilty is not the best. Wish there was more student involvement such as student council, ASB, leadership. School doesn't seem to take pride in ANY of these people, never see there name on websites like most schools with contact info. No cheerteam & not alot of Activites, which is alittle upsetting to look back on and see that most high schools have everything above and beyond and my high school didn't.

Challenging and interesting classes are helping to prepare my child for college. Many teachers offer enrichment opportunities for students to travel and experience learning outside of the classroom. The band program is outstanding.

Administration is not responsive and does not take grading seriously. Most of the teachers have low expectations of students but there are a couple of exceptions. I never felt comfortable as it is made clear that parents are allowed in certain areas only. The students, who are not drug and alcohol users, seem to know of a lot of students who are.

I love this school! The teachers are absolutely awesome and they actually love being around the students that they teach everyday! I recommend that you bring your students here , its a great experience. Also, theyre great at helping out new students and the enviorment is comfortable and safe. The teachers have a great teacher-student connection and the staff is extremely nice and can be really great friends.

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.
