Oregon high school naming

[edit]

Oregon high schools are typically called "Foo High School". If they serve K-12, they are often called "Foo School". If they serve 7-12, they are often called "Foo Junior/Senior High School".

Unfortunately there's no firm rule behind these. Junior/Senior high schools may refer to themselves as "Foo High School". The best way to research it is to evaluate all sources. From lowest to highest reliability, the sources rank as follows:

Generally, NCES and ODE will agree on the name, and that's the name that I use. However, I will go back and create redirects so all common names are covered:

  • If the school name is "Foo High School", I don't usually create any redirects
  • If the school name is "Foo School", I create a redirect at "Foo High School"
  • If the school name is "Foo Junior/Senior High School", I create redirects at "Foo High School", "Foo Jr./Sr. High School", and "Foo Jr/Sr High School".
