Nestled in the foothills of the Cascades, just 30 miles southeast of Portland, the Estacada School District serves a diverse and growing student population while maintaining its small-town charm. The district includes two elementary schools, a junior high school, a high school, and two charter schools, offering a comprehensive K-12 education with a focus on academic excellence, career readiness, and community engagement. With its scenic location in the Clackamas River Basin, the district spans over 750 square miles of rural Oregon countryside, including portions of the Mt. Hood National Forest.

Home to 1,750 public school students, along with 850 students enrolled in charter schools or Early College courses, the Estacada School District provides a range of educational opportunities tailored to meet the needs of its students. The district prioritizes small class sizes, individualized instruction, and strong community partnerships, ensuring that students receive a high-quality, well-rounded education. Through its Early College program, students can earn college credits while still in high school, giving them a head start on their future careers or higher education.

Rooted in history, Estacada was once a popular weekend destination for Portland residents in the early 20th century and later became a hub for the logging industry. Today, the district continues to evolve while embracing its natural surroundings, community values, and commitment to student success. Whether through academics, athletics, or outdoor education, Estacada School District prepares students to thrive in an ever-changing world.
