CLACKAMAS MIDDLE COLLEGE

Clackamas Middle College is a public charter high school that is part of the North Clackamas SD 12 school district, located in Happy Valley, OR with about 297 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 7 teachers, Clackamas Middle College has a student/teacher ratio of about 42:1. 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.

Clackamas Middle College (CMC) is a unique public charter school located in Happy Valley, Oregon, designed for students in grades 9 through 12 who are looking for an alternative to the traditional high school experience. Operating on the campus of Clackamas Community College, the school emphasizes a self-directed, flexible learning environment. It is specifically tailored for students who are motivated to begin their post-secondary journey early, allowing them to balance their high school graduation requirements while simultaneously earning college credits through the community college system.

The school’s model focuses on personalized education, providing students with a high level of autonomy and individual support from advisors. Because of its partnership with Clackamas Community College, CMC students have access to a wider array of vocational and academic courses than those typically found in a standard high school setting. This environment is particularly well-suited for students who are independent, college-bound, or seeking a more mature, focused atmosphere that helps them bridge the gap between high school and higher education or career readiness.
