Save Our Schools is a grass roots organization of Corbett residents who love our small town schools as well as this community. We formed this PAC in response to other PACS that were (and are) being set up in each election since 2013. While these other PACS seem to come and go, our group has been growing and working hard to inform the public about issues relating to the Corbett School District. We are volunteers, teachers, parents, business owners, and resident tax payers. We are your friends and neighbors, just small town people trying to make a difference. Quite literally, we believe we are fighting to Save "Our" Schools. For our children, our neighbors' children, and future generations of Corbett children yet to come. We believe in working to return transparency, accountability, fiscal responsibility and ethical leadership to the Corbett School District. More about us here

National Ranking is actually based largely on the total number of Advanced Placement tests taken in our high school (9-12) divided by a small graduating class. During the years that Corbett ranked the highest, the criteria had nothing to do with how well students performed on those tests. All students (grades 9-12 take these AP tests). The district has purchased over 1,000 AP tests during a single year before..... We even require Special Needs students to take these AP classes/tests.Read more here.

In 2015 CSD lost their small school funding. CSD created a STEM School (Science Technology Engineering and Mathmatics) to replace the Charter school (to help divide the numbers on the high school campus into two schools - to preserve the funding...) However, the State revoked our small school funding as they did not see enough separation to qualify as two schools. Both Charter and STEM students shared the same classrooms (at the same time ) with the district students. It also seems CSD reported our 9th graders (on paper) at the middle school for some period of time.

More on this here.

At CSD, there are no letter grades until high school and at the high school we do not assign D's or F's. The district leadership believes in their "continuous progress model" to the point that the Superintendent has said that "If a student has made progress, and proven to their teacher they have tried their best, CSD will not stop any student from graduating." The School Board also voted NOT to notify parents each year how their students were doing compared to state averages. (Our district ranks about average compared to similar schools based on State assessments). Oregon ranks about 40th Nationally.
