Lake Oswego Senior High School Reviews
Rating 4.05 out of 5 258 reviews
Lake Oswego High School is an incredibly hostile environment for any marginalized students, especially students of color. While I attended LOHS, bigoted and discriminatory behavior from students was an every day concern, with admin doing little to support students. Homophobia and transphobia were widespread among students. Teachers, counselors, and other support staff did nothing to stop any discrimination and hate speech, and sometimes participated. Although the academics were good and prepared me for my coursework at one of the top 20 universities in the US, it was at the cost of my mental health from being in such an incredibly unsupportive environment. Absolutely cannot recommend this school.
The school has little some diversity but a very small african-american and native american student body, as somebody who isn't willing to shell out the big-bucks for a mac and a iPhone 15, you feel so out of place. If you ever try to make a new group, especially a sports based one, it is almost impossible to get any time allocated to practice. My group had to practice at the middle school because they wouldn't let us use the cafeteria after cheer was done, all because the coach is a administrator. The teachers are great, are super engaging and really push you. But, due to the high-class nature of the school only 1/2 of the students actually put in effort. Not all of us can trust-fund our way into a state school. Sports are also super competitive, and within a mixed sport like track, it was about 2/3 boys. So, this school is great if you have any of these qualities; white, have a double household income with both making 6-figures, be part of a nuclear family with 1-2 siblings etc.
I enjoyed my time at LOHS, but the biases held by teachers and faculty against students was disappointing.
