A Great Family Town - 1/18/2008

I consider Lake Oswego, Oregon the Land of Oz. Being a recent transplant from Seattle, we were very apprehensive about relocating, mainly because of small children. We were also leaving a great life in Seattle. However, all research pointed to nothing but positives about our new city. We were cautiously excited. The city is more than we could have hoped for. I cannot say enough about the community involvement, the superior schools and the overall feeling of safety and low crime. The close-knit feeling of this community is incredibly strong. The financial support provided from the parents to support our schools has led them to be rated "exceptional" year after year. The student/teacher ratios are very low and the classes offered are considerable. My kids have thrived. Now my big worry is that we'll be transferred out before my kids are done with high school![read more...]

Lake Oswego - 8/3/2007

The quality of life is pretty good here, although you do pay for it. L.O. is clean, fairly compact and well-appointed with schools, stores, parks and the other amenities necessary for a comfortable "bedroom community". If you avoid I-5 the commute into downtown Portland is fairly manageable.[read more...]

Lake Oswego schools! - 5/18/2007

If you are low income do not move to lake oswego! The rent here runs from 800 to over 900 for a two or three bedroom one or two bath! And the school supply list will run you up to 160.00 for the first set of school supplies and than during the second week the teachers will ask for more school supplies! The nieghborhoods are safe and there are no gangs here yet so far! But there is not one place for kids to go to for fun! Lake Oswego is a real boring place for families to bring there kids to live at![read more...]

great high schools - 5/6/2007

After moving here from MA we were impessed with the quality of the high school curriculum. More than 97% of the seniors are going to colleges or universities. Even with academic excellence as noted by the highest state achievement scores our kids still enjoy school. There is so much to do to keep their minds thinking and active.[read more...]
