Summary
Ione Community Charter School is a small public alternative charter school in Ione, OR, serving grades K–12 with 113 students in the Ione School District R2, and it is the only school within 20 miles, so there are no nearby-school comparisons available in this data.
Academically, the school has a mixed profile. Its latest graduation rate is 100.0%, far above Oregon’s 83.0%, but the prior year was 77.8%, below the state’s 81.8%. Overall proficiency is below the Oregon average in ELA (31.8% vs. 43.8%), math (23.8% vs. 32.9%), and science (20.6% vs. 30.6%). Grade-level results vary sharply: 11th grade ELA is a clear strength at 61.5% vs. 46.0%, while 11th grade math is 8.3% vs. 22.9%. Eighth grade is low across subjects—ELA and math are both 18.2%, and science is under 5% vs. the state’s 27.7%. Some grade-level scores are state-suppressed and unknown, not zero. With only 113 students, one or two students can move these percentages a lot.
Attendance is the clearest red flag. Chronic absenteeism was 42.3% in 2024–25, above Oregon’s 33.5%, and it has risen 14.3 percentage points since 2022–23 while the state rate fell. The school also spends $36,209 per student, up from $27,637 in 2021–22, and has a very low student–teacher ratio of 7.3; free/reduced lunch is 57.52%. Those resources may reflect the fixed costs of a tiny K–12 school, but parents may want to ask how they translate into support, especially for math, 8th grade, and attendance. Because no nearby schools were supplied, the state average is the only external benchmark here.
