This is a large hs (~2500) so each offering was medium to large in scale. We enjoyed it immensely but the wind ensemble captured our attention most due to my g'son composing and conducting one of the pieces. All in all a great program and these students should be proud! Well done!

AGS 1 class is getting VR headsets while I'm sitting in a stall, where the floor is damp from broken pipes, lunch food is strewn about like the entire room is a trash can, and the smell of vape is overwhelming.

As an fyi, this school does not have a standard set of curriculum for use across grade levels, nor…read moreis it run by anyone with significant experience in education. This leads to tremendous gaps in achievement among students, across grade levels, despite hiding behind the veil of "accreditation". This also leads to a noticeable under-valuation of teachers, as they are the ones to jump through hoops in an attempt to meet every child where they are at. The administration remains blissfully ignorant in how they can make improvements to the quality of education at this school, but makes a good show of it in interactions with parents. Don't fall for the banter, and put your money towards a real, superior education elsewhere.

Over the past 4 years, we've had two kids attend Life.

Small class sizes and a newer building make the environment ideal for learning. If you are considering private Christian education, we'd highly recommend Life.

I call portland home for some reason. it's not really my home though. i was born in korea and first…read moremoved to los angeles and went to elementary there. I moved to oregon and finished all my primary education, came back to so cal for college and have been here ever since. i've lived in la longer than anywhere else. yet why do i call oregon home? maybe i don't want to be an angeleno. or maybe home is where you go to high school? whenever i am home in beaverton, oregon. i tend to drive around my area to see how things have changed and i always drive by sunset. i slow down and lower my window and just linger and look at the sign about the new game, or school play and let it all come back to me. how i remember high school and how it really was, is probably 2 different things. i thought i was a character, memorable. i remember speaking to mr. shlegal, a teacher i really got along with, a lot of time had passed but he didn't remember me. he was sorry but told me class clowns like me come through ever year. i remember mr. coply my ap econ and ap history teacher. i saw him some place and he didn't recognize me. i thought i was an econ and history prodigy but probably one of me every year... though one person i swear does recognize me is my old wrestling coach, coach parker. haha i always got this notion he still holds a grudge when i quit the team my senior year. whats funny is i still wrestle and compete to this very day, but now its more like ufc (not useful funny cool but ultimate fighting championship) style. i remember when westview was built and our school looked old and small and they took half our students and all our best athletes...freakin westview!!! i remember friends becoming enemies, friends being separated, because of new school boundaries... i remember break dancing in the halls. listening to my walkman at all times. wearing my letterman's jacket as a badge of honor and pride. pride... some kids hate their high school, or their experience. high school was rough. but needed to make me who i am. i made life long friends i still talk to, not a lot of people can say that. my best friend from then is my best friend now. my car from then is my car still. hey who says sam can't keep a long term relationship! i even still wrestler dammit haha. i still got school pride. i remember blushing when girls used to ask me for my jackets or if i could show them a move, or for me to dance a lil bit. i remember making home movies with my friends with hopes of becoming a filmmaker. i remember writing a lot. i remember picking on a lot of other people and smacking kids around. the bullied becomes the bully sometimes. i remember smoking behind the school, i remember drinking at my friends house and falling in love with liquor. I remember catcher in the rye and robert cormier books and the great gatsby and ethan frome and crime and punishment and so many more. i remember garretty and zinn. i remember warm summers eating outside, laughing, and care free eating orange creamcicles. before i was an adult. i was a human being. it was almost idyllic, or thats how i remember it. i remember what it felt like to be at home. i remember pride. sunset apollos.

Every year the Principal takes AWAY from these kids. There used to be amazing things done for the…read morekids but now she shuts down so many ideas because she doesn't want to stay at the school later than 3:30 or 4pm. Well dude it's kind of YOUR job. Events are all run by PTO and volunteers except for choir concerts, science fair, art fair etc. and they do a decent job. I want to volunteer IN my kids class. But there aren't many opportunities for that as they reach higher grades. The principal is aloof and doesn't have a level of investment at the school. The staff (aside from her,) are wonderful. So caring and so supportive. She lacks follow up, initiative and just general CARE. She can't even pronounce the names of long term teachers. What garbage. That staff cares SO much for the students. And the Vice Principal SHOULD be running the show. She is everything a leader should be. I cannot even grasp how the Principal makes the salary she does with the true lack of care and investment in the school. My son has a year left and then we are moving on. Aside from her it's been wonderful but she has truly made the school LESS in every way.

I am so happy to be out of this school after so many teachers would tell their students to shut up. Not a great experience.
