Forest Grove (OR) High School places a high value on achievement for all students. Large banners highlight the recognition the school has received for academic accomplishments, such as Oregon's Closing the Achievement Gap award, which it has received for two years running, and for meeting adequate yearly progress. In classrooms, students are actively engaged in the subject matter, whether it is music, art or history; a reading workshop for struggling readers; a class for English language learners; or an honors biology class that is open to all students. This article discusses how a series of programs and supports at Forest Grove provided by a dedicated professional team keeps students on track and destined to achieve--no matter what their circumstances or challenges.
