Kalapuya High School is a public alternative high school in Eugene, Oregon, United States. It was established in an innovative model to provide an alternative to students who were already not succeeding in the traditional high school environment, usually drawing from Willamette High School.
[edit] Academics
In 2008, 4% of the school's seniors received their high school diploma. Of 68 students, 3 graduated, 44 dropped out, and 21 are still in high school.[2][3]
[edit] History
Kalapuya opened in the fall of 2003. It serves grades 10-12 and operates in one large room, where the principal and all teachers can observe all of the students, and they are forced to learn to work together. The principal is Stefan Aumack. Kalapuya was opened at the same time and on shared property with Prairie Mountain, a nearby k-8 school in the Bethel School District. Kalapuya provides students the opportunity to follow an individualized plan and graduate with a high school diploma.
