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.

We have had a poor experience with Stephenson and are actively looking for other options. Our child appears to be above grade level coming in to Stephenson but there are limited resources to support him. The teachers are extremely strict and place kindergarteners in time out and send home pink slips beginning on day one. There is shaming of children. There is rough treatment physical treatment of children who misbehave (personally witnessed). The class room is extremely under resourced with 24 kindergarteners and no support staff other than parent volunteers. The school district is a sham.

As someone who lives on the boarder of Lake Oswego, I was initially skeptical that Stephenson would live up to the strong grades of the schools in the LO district. Two years later, I wouldn't trade Stephenson for ANY other school. My child has had exceptional teachers that connect with her in a way...
