Oregon Family School

Oregon Family School is an alternative public charter virtual school located in Crane, Oregon, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 891 students. The school is part of the Harney County School District 4, which is ranked 44 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Oregon Family School offers a unique virtual learning environment, it has faced some challenges in recent years. The school's 4-year graduation rate has ranged from 74.1% to 81.8%, which is lower than the state average of around 80%. Additionally, the school has had a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 24.4% to 38.1%, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, Oregon Family School's proficiency rates on the OSAS (Oregon Statewide Assessment System) tests are significantly lower than the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics, where proficiency rates range from 5.6% to 32.4%.

Interestingly, the nearby Silvies River Charter School, another public charter virtual school in the same district, generally outperforms Oregon Family School on academic measures. Additionally, Oregon Family School's relatively low spending per student, ranging from $378 to $466, and high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 21.7 to 26.1 students per teacher, may be contributing factors to the school's academic struggles. As an alternative virtual school, Oregon Family School may face unique challenges in engaging and supporting its students, which could be impacting its overall performance.
