Summary

Camas Valley School is an alternative public charter school serving grades PK-12 in Camas Valley, Oregon, with a total enrollment of 226 students. As an alternative school, Camas Valley offers a unique educational approach compared to traditional public schools in the area.

Camas Valley School has shown strong performance in several key areas. The school boasts a 94.4% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average of 44.4% for 11th-grade students. However, the school has faced challenges with chronic absenteeism, ranging from 29.6% to 38.1% in recent years, a common issue for alternative schools serving at-risk populations. Camas Valley's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics have been mixed, with some grade levels outperforming the state average and others lagging behind. The school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.7 to 10.8, which may contribute to its ability to provide more personalized attention to students.

Compared to the nearby South Umpqua Online Academy, which serves a much smaller student population of 11 and has a lower four-year graduation rate of 81.8%, Camas Valley School appears to be a unique alternative school that is making significant investments in its educational program. The school's higher per-student spending of $28,417 in the 2022-2023 school year may be a factor in its strong graduation rates, though addressing chronic absenteeism remains an area for improvement.
