Walk to Trillium Creek Primary and Rosemont Ridge Middle School

Hidden Springs’ public schools are a major attraction for this neighborhood. “There’s a new primary school down the road, Trillium Creek. It’s a real draw to the neighborhood. Kids can walk to school, which is hard to find nowadays in the suburbs,” Fogle says. “A lot of people will move into this area to have their children attend that school.” Trillium Creek has an A-minus rating on Niche and is part of the West Linn-Wilsonville School District, which also has an overall A rating and ranks as Oregon’s third-best school district on Niche. After Trillium Creek, students attend Rosemont Ridge Middle School, which is also less than a mile’s walk from the neighborhood and also receives an A-minus from Niche. From there, students go to either Riverside High School, which hasn’t yet been rated, or West Linn High School, which receives an A grade and ranks as Oregon’s sixth-best public high school on Niche. West Linn High School offers AP courses in nearly 30 subjects, dual enrollment through Clackamas Community College and career and technical education in areas like digital arts, journalism and engineering. Students in the West Linn-Wilsonville School District who speak more than one language will also have the opportunity to graduate with the Oregon Seal of Biliteracy.
