The public high school is pretty big (to me), 1500 students in 2007. It's Cleveland High School. It's pretty far, actually, on 26th and Powell. I'm pretty disappointed that this is our high school. My daughter goes to Llewellyn, which is a small elementary school that overlooks Oaks Wildlife Refuge. I love the community feel and that we can walk to school. She wants to go to Sellwood middle school, which is a bit farther, but still feels like our neighborhood, you know? Cleveland High does not feel like it's in our neighborhood at all.
Well, this causes me to want to do more research on nearby private high schools, although I'm still hoping she'll want to homeschool for high school.
