Meetings are well-run and follow the posted agenda. A different school is featured at each meeting. High School student representatives give updates.

Adequate A/V equipment for presentations and audio.

The curriculum prepares children for both future academic and social challenges and the environmental education (there is an additional 26-acre farm campus) promotes great responsibility. Highlights include: -Class sizes average 16 students. -The main teacher generally stays with their class from 1st-8th grade. -Media/corporate/commercial-free environment. -No Common Core or standardized testing. -Lots of outside time for every grade level -Kids that like going to school and thrive! This is a well rounded educational experience that helps develop sharp, motivated and emotionally strong young humans.

I am deeply concerned with the ongoing failure of leadership and accountability within this school…read moredistrict. After multiple superintendent transitions, there has been no clear improvement in direction, transparency, or outcomes for students. More troubling are repeated concerns from families regarding: Failure to consistently follow IEPs, which is not just unacceptable--it puts the district at risk of violating federal law and failing the students who need support the most Lack of oversight and accountability in athletic and youth programs, leading to disorganization, poor communication, and missed opportunities for student development Breakdowns in communication with parents, where concerns are minimized or not addressed in a timely and meaningful way Serious concerns about student safety and supervision, which must be treated as a top priority at all times At a minimum, families deserve transparency, consistency, and a district that follows through on its legal and ethical responsibilities. Right now, many parents do not feel confident that those expectations are being met. This is not about isolated incidents--it reflects a broader pattern that needs immediate attention. I urge the school board to: Conduct an independent review of IEP compliance and student support services Improve oversight and structure within athletic and extracurricular programs Establish clear communication channels and accountability measures for addressing parent concerns Provide transparency around how leadership decisions are being made and evaluated Every student deserves a safe, structured, and supportive environment. Until meaningful changes are made, families will continue to question whether this district is meeting that standard and they are leaving this district at high levels for better opportunities for their children.

This is just a great school, with a great staff. My daughter is a student here in 1st grade, and…read moreshe has learned so much in Mrs Giles' class. The staff has been great in their communication to me, and they are very tech savvy as well (email updates, smart phone apps for tracking student performance and picture updates).

I have updated my review from a 2 star to a 4 star after talking with the owner Tiffany. Original…read morereview below. I absolutely adore the teachers at good life. They are very patient and kind. They helped my son build a lot of confidence and autonomy. He always come home with a smile for the most part. When we first started the first month of drop off was hard but they help him feel safe and secure. If you are like me, a worrier, I would caution you against enrolling in the Newberg location downtown. Tiffany has two location one in Dundee and one in Newberg. I wanted to enroll in the Dundee location but it was full. I am not comfortable at all with the traffic of the homeless population going threw there. If this doesn't bother you then disregard. If I could I would give the good Life a 5 star and the Chehalem center a negative 100. Original review 2 star review "The teacher are amazing. That have really helped my son blossom. The reason for the low review it due to their Newberg location at the Chehalem Culture Center. Most mornings you will encounter homeless people treating the front entrance and park like a hotel. When raising concerns with the Director of the Chehalem center I was ignored. Tiffany the owner of the business reach out to me, but still nothing has changed. I even reach out to the police serval time but the Chehalem center refused to have the individual trespass so their hands are tie, all they can do is ask them to leave."
