Crater High School is a public high school in Central Point, Oregon, United States.
Beginning in the 2007-2008 school year, a program called the Small School Initiative was established in Crater after a monetary grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Meyer Memorial Trust. It divided the Crater campus into four smaller, autonomous schools, each with its own principal and staff members. These schools were the Crater Academy of Natural Sciences (CANS), Crater Renaissance Academy (CRA), Crater School of Business, Innovation & Science (BIS), and Crater Academy of Health and Public Services (CAHPS). CANS was closed in 2012. The school remained separated into 3 small schools until 2024 when CRA, BIS, and CAHPS were also closed and the campus merged into one. The campus is now one school as of the 24-25 school year.
In 1983, Crater High School was honored in the Blue Ribbon Schools Program, the highest honor a school can receive in the United States.[3]
Crater Students normally come from Hanby Middle School and Scenic Middle School.
