Summary

Ione Community Charter School is an alternative public charter school serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 127 students in the rural town of Ione, Oregon. As a charter school, it offers a unique educational approach compared to traditional public schools in the Ione School District R2.

One of the school's strengths is its relatively high graduation rates, ranging from 77.8% to 90.9% over the past few years, which are generally higher than the state average of around 80%. However, the school faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, with rates ranging from 28.0% to 38.3%, notably higher than the state average of around 20%. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are mixed, with some subject areas performing below state and district averages, but excelling in 11th grade Science.

Ione Community Charter School serves a population with greater economic challenges, with 48.51% to 51.18% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending has been relatively high, ranging from $27,637 to $29,029 in the past two years, and it has a low student-teacher ratio of 9.2 to 12.3 students per teacher. These factors suggest the school is able to allocate more resources per student, potentially to support its unique educational approach and the needs of its student population.
