Reynolds Learning Academy is a public alternative school in Fairview, Oregon, United States.

Academics

In 2008, 46% of the school's seniors received their high school diploma. Of 74 students, 34 graduated, 20 dropped out, 2 received a modified diploma, and 18 are still in high school.[4] [5]

In October 2009 the school was placed on the No Child Left Behind safety watch list, "because more than 1 percent of their students brought a weapon to school, were expelled for violence or committed a violent crime on campus."[6] [7]

The distinctive appearance and prominent location of this academy makes it the signature building for Reynolds School District's main campus. It houses nontraditional high school programs.

The two-story building is organized around a clerestory-topped atrium. The 15 classrooms include two science rooms, a creative-arts lab, and a landscaping work/study lab.
