Siletz Valley Early College Academy, also known as Siletz Valley School, is a public charter high school in Siletz, Oregon, United States. [2] [4] The school opened in 2006 with funding from the Chinook Winds Casino [1] and from a grant provided by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

The previous Siletz Valley High School was operated by the Lincoln County School District and closed in 1983. Jayson Jacoby of the Baker City Herald characterized the 2006 charter school opening as Siletz Valley High re-opening. [5]
