Financial Aid Offers

Now is the time when students begin receiving financial aid offers. Sometimes it can be a bit confusing, or overwhelming to read, understand and compare offers between schools.

Luckily our friends at Oregon Goes To College have an excellent financial aid offer comparison tool. Access the Orgeong Goes To college Financial Aid comparison sheet at this link. Students will be asked to make a copy of the Google Sheet to personalize it for themselves.

Your generous support of the Pacer Athletic Club will ensure that all of the students in the Lakeridge community will have access to high quality experiences.

The Oregon Department of Education has contracted with PreACT as the state’s new 10th grade college-readiness assessment. This replaces the PSAT that Oregon high schools used to offer in October. All 10th graders have the opportunity to take this assessment and it is optional for students. 10th graders will need to opt in to take the PreACT. For 2022-23, the assessment window is in March, but for future years the window will be in October.

LHS High School will offer all current 10th-grade students the opportunity to take the PreACT on Thursday, March 23rd 2023.

The test takes approximately 3 hours to administer and students will be excused from their classes to participate. Students who are interested in taking the PreACT must opt in by completing this form by Tuesday, February 21.

There is no fee for the PreACT because the Oregon Department of Education has been directed to provide a statewide opportunity for 10th-grade students served by public schools to access a nationally-normed college entrance practice exam.

The PreACT is a low-stakes test-practice experience for four-year-college-bound students. Score reports provide insight into students’ predicted performance on the ACT, and include valuable career indicators. It is important to note that most four-year colleges and universities are test-optional or test-free, so the ACT or SAT may not be required for admission. Please contact your school counselor with questions. The test covers Math, Science, Reading, and English.
