About Us
Burlingame Creek, Arata Creek, and Knott Creek schools provide educational programs for students ages K-21 on IEPs who have had persistent behavior challenges in school. Students are taught new social and academic skills and strategies that will allow them to be successful in school as well as in the community and work place. The Creeks schools serve students from Multnomah County and other school districts by contract.
The Creek schools operate on a continuum system. There are four phases with clear academic and behavioral expectations. Students move through the system when they demonstrate that they can meet the requirements at a particular stage over a period of time. The ultimate goal is to return to a regular school placement.
Mission Statement
Burlingame Creek School staff are committed to helping all students acquire the social, behavioral, and academic skills necessary to become productive citizens now and in the future.
We believe all students have the right to learn these skills in a safe, caring and respectful environment.
