The Sweet Home School District (#55) is a public school district serving Sweet Home, Oregon, United States and the surrounding communities of Crawfordsville, Holley, Cascadia, and Liberty, and the Pleasant Valley area.
The district was incorporated on December 20, 1964 following a recommendation from the Linn County reorganization committee that the Crawfordsville, Holley, Cascadia, Liberty, Foster, Sweet Home Elementary and Sweet Home Union High School districts be consolidated into one administrative district. Prior to consolidation, Sweet Home Union High School's history dates back to 1912. [3]
In 1990, the district was the largest recipient in the state of tax revenues from private timber harvest.[4]
In 2011, The Center for American Progress recognized the Sweet Home School District for receiving the organization's highest Return on Investment score in a nationwide study comparing student achievement relative to available funding. Sweet Home, North Clackamas and Gladstone were the only school districts in Oregon to receive the organization's highest achievement score in all areas measured.[5]
Sweet Home High School is a comprehensive high school serving approximately 750 students in grades 9 through 12.
Sweet Home Junior High School serves approximately 400 seventh and eighth grade students.
