U.S. News & World Report Ranks Estacada High School #39 in Oregon
The latest U.S. News & World Report rankings came out for schools. The news organization ranked Estacada High School as #39 in Oregon out of 253 ranked schools. The rankings come from a variety of factors including Advanced Placement test scores, reading and math state test scores, graduation rates, and underserved student performance on state assessments.
A big thank you goes out to all of our staff members who have put in the hard work and taken an interest in the success of each student in the school.

Incoming 9th-Grader's Day - Thursday, May 16
Our incoming 9th-graders will be visiting the high school this Thursday afternoon to get a jump start on learning about life after middle school. After an assembly, students will be escorted around the school by some of our student leaders.
That evening from 6:30pm - 8:00pm, we are inviting both students and parents into the gym for a presentation from the principal and assistant principal. Please plan to visit with coaches and club mentors who will be available to answer questions and provide useful information.
Hope to see you there!
