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.

My favorite part of Corvallis High School is the athletic program. I am very involved in the athletic program and have participated in volleyball basketball and Track and Field. I love how sports are a way to connect with a wide variety of people and I feel that CHS expresses that very well. The sports community is very welcoming and has giving me many opportunities to build relationships with my peers. The opportunity to put myself out there has giving me confidence at my school and has given me a place to belong.

My only real complaint is that sometimes it feels like admin doesn't listen to student and parent concerns. Other than that, I love CHS. It has a great range of classes offered, and many clubs to choose from. I really feel like I fit in with the culture.

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...
