Summary

Arlington Community Charter School is a small, alternative public charter school in Arlington, Oregon, serving 136 students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The school is part of the Arlington School District 3.

One of the school's key strengths is its exceptional graduation rates, with 100% of students graduating within four years, significantly higher than the state average of around 80%. However, the school also faces challenges, including a notably higher chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 34.3% to 56.9% in recent years, compared to the state average of 20-25%. The school's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels and subject areas performing better than the state average, while others lag behind.

Interestingly, Arlington Community Charter School serves a population with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53.33% to 71.32%, which is significantly higher than the state average of 50-55%. This, along with the school's higher spending per student, suggests that the school may be addressing the needs of a more economically disadvantaged student population. The school's small size, with a low student-teacher ratio, may also contribute to its strong graduation rates, though it may present challenges in terms of resource allocation and the range of academic and extracurricular opportunities available.
