Summary

Butte Falls Charter School is an alternative public charter school located in Butte Falls, Oregon, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 159 students. As a charter school, it offers a unique educational approach compared to the traditional public schools in the Butte Falls School District 91.

While Butte Falls Charter School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it faces several challenges. The school's graduation rates, ranging from 75% to 83.3%, are generally lower than the state average of around 80%. Additionally, the school has had a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 34.3% to 45% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the state and district averages across various grade levels.

Interestingly, when compared to nearby charter schools, such as Prospect Charter School and Crater Lake Academy, Butte Falls Charter School appears to be underperforming in several key areas. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its educational strategies and support systems to better serve its students, particularly given the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges within the student population.
