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.

Timberline is a good school. A lot of the teachers are really good and help improve the high school experience. The worst part of my high school experience was probably the weirdness that came with Covid.

This school has been extremely amazing, we do loads of prep rally's and even on cultural awareness . We have laterally involved student body who makes the years just fly by. The only bad this I have to say are the math teachers it really a hit or miss, other then that the faculty care so much for there student and they try to make the transition from high school to collage as easy and simple as possible.

The best part of Timberline High School to be is the opportunities for student involvement. The leadership committee is run almost entirely by students allowing for a lot of creative freedom. Timberline also has various sports to join, each of them being respected and valued by the student population. The arts programs are amazing as well. Choir, Band, Orchestra, Drama, and Video productions have several annual events and performances to show off their talent. The only thing I would change would be the student mentality, I know it's probably impossible to do that but I feel like our student body should be more united. A lot of our students are kind of against each other in a way and I don't really like seeing that divide.
