We purchased a home on Tenmile Lake as a 2nd residence & 1 of our children decided to transfer his senior year from North Clackamas High to North Bend High. We were really nervous about switching after so many years in a top rated school district like Happy Valley Or area. We were pleasantly surprised. The curriculum was exceptional lots of opportunity for advanced classes and college credits. The staff was so much better than the previous school all the way around. Our son said that the kids were super friendly and welcomed him immediately he didn't see the cliques like in his previous school it was a huge culture shock in a good way. My only complaint would be his bus driver. He was mean and nasty and purposely would bypass him at his stop and caused us all a lot of grief. Overall we love the school and will be transferring our daughter there this year to begin her high school career.

This school has some good things about it, but the principle is a bully my son graduated there and he bullied him so bad that he is out two years and still has anger because of the bullying.

The new policy in the school this year is great. A failing grade in the standerized class (which are most) is a D. Also, if you have missing work or need to make up a test because of failing grade you have to be in 8th period on friday. Which means classes are shortened on Fridays for this. Giving many more students insentive to pass classes and keep up in school. Kids also just needing help in classes can go. The adminstration is great, and strict on skipping class. The Naggers we have for Juniors and Seniors is great, and help a lot getting scholarships in order. One thing that I could say bad in the school is the counclers, I have never had a problem getting the schedule I want or the help I need. But, many others have. The Link Crew they have is a great way for Freshman to learn the ropes and stay caught up in class with the help of Upper-Classman. The food in the school is also ok, but the cooks (some not all) can be rude as can be. But, most leave or walk to the mall for lunch.

This school is horrible. Because of the tight-knit community, many students are favored or given privileges because of a parental connection to the teacher. Millions are donated to the football program while budgets cause teachers to be fired. As a student that had spent 3 years of HS in AZ, I was thoroughly disappointed with nbhs. The HS requirements are filled with unnecessary courses and its program to increase college acceptance percentages is so flawed that the parents are rarely told about what they need to do to help their child succeed in life. Most of my graduating class ('09) are either into drugs or working minimum wage jobs. Don't try to transfer here if you came from a school with weighted grades, caused my GPA to drop from 3.8 to 3.2. This school has a history of producing students that get trapped in north bend.
