COMMUNITY SCHOOL

Community School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Beaverton SD 48J school district, located in Beaverton, OR with about 162 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 17 teachers, Community School has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Community School, located in Beaverton, Oregon, is an alternative public high school that operates as part of the Beaverton School District. Unlike traditional comprehensive high schools, Community School is specifically designed to provide a personalized, small-learning-community environment for students who may benefit from a non-traditional educational approach. Its focus is on fostering strong relationships between students and staff, promoting individual responsibility, and encouraging active participation in the learning process.

The curriculum at Community School emphasizes academic core subjects while integrating real-world applications and project-based learning. Because of its smaller student body and unique structure, the school is able to offer a more flexible atmosphere that supports diverse learning styles and individual goals. By prioritizing a collaborative and supportive culture, the school aims to help students who seek a different path to graduation feel more connected to their education and prepared for life after high school.
