Summary

Cove Charter School is a K–12 charter school in rural Cove, Oregon (ZIP 97824) serving about 290 students, and it is the only school in the Cove School District 15 — which means every district figure reported for Cove is also the school's figure. Academically, the school lands above the Oregon average in all three tested subjects: 59.3% in English language arts (state: 43.8%), 36.0% in math (state: 32.9%), and 34.7% in science (state: 30.6%). Compared with the two nearby charter schools, North Powder Charter School and Imbler Charter School, Cove beats North Powder in every subject by roughly 7–8 points but trails Imbler in every subject — by a wide margin in math (36.0% versus 53.8%) and science (34.7% versus 45.7%).

Attendance is Cove's clearest success. Chronic absenteeism has fallen from 40.4% in 2021-22 to 20.5% in 2024-25, well below the state rate of 33.5%, and better than North Powder's 25.2%. Graduation results look strong on average but swing sharply year to year: 96.4% for the 2024-25 cohort, 13.4 points above the state, after a 54.8% year in 2023-24. With a graduating class that may number in the low 20s, one or two students can move the rate a lot, so the multi-year picture (about 83.5%, near the state average) is more meaningful than any single year.

On resources, Cove has the largest classes of the three schools (15.2 students per teacher) and spends $24,298 per student — nearly identical to North Powder but about $2,950 more than Imbler, which posts the highest scores. The most visible academic pressure point is grades 7–8: 8th grade is the only grade below the state in all three subjects, including science at 5% versus the state's 27.7%, while 11th grade is exceptionally strong (76.9% in ELA, 30.9 points above state).
