GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I love Corvallis High School, so far in my 3 years of being there, l haven't crossed myself with any problems being there. The best part of CHS is the teachers, they are very supportive and helpful when you're stuck on something or struggling. the worst part of CHS is the students, they are very lousy and disrespectful when respecting each other. that's probably the most important thing l want to change at CHS.

Corvallis High School has great teachers, especially for science. There are lots of different sports opportunities, and great coaches.

I love to learn and am an extrovert and my first time experiencing public school was at the High School. For the most part all teachers want special connection with you and want you to do your best. I felt like there was a lot of clicks within the school which made it harder to at first make friends. One thing I would change was they changed our schedules everywhere...not just classes but times we get out of school and it was just confusing.

This school is fiercely supportive of the Safeway and equity of each and every student. Many AP and honors classes that are c...

Part of it isn't thier fault, because they are never in a place where bullying occurs. They say they'll help, but...

One of the best schools in the country, Corvallis High School is not your normal public school. It has a wide selection of advanced placement courses, excellent teaching staff, and a community that greatly supports education. But perhaps the greatest selling point is the students; you will find a ca...
