About Us
Welcome to Community School
Community School at Merlo Station is a small, option high school in the Beaverton School District. It is designed for students who want the support of a small community of teachers and students. Many students who attend Community School do not feel like they “fit in” at a mainstream high school. They want to do well in school, but need support in building academic skills and habits, and dealing with issues that distract them from learning.
Community School at Merlo Station is designed to help students take responsibility for their learning and their lives, and offers a unique opportunity to join a positive community and prepare for their future. We are proud of how our staff, students, and families partner together to build a community founded on equity that honors learning and growth of the whole person. Every day we see students grow as confident and capable problem solvers, and we are passionate about continuing to grow and learn as educators.
