Summary

Lighthouse Charter School is a PK–8 charter school in Coos Bay, Oregon, serving 203 students in the Coos Bay area. In 2025–2026, it ranked 372nd of 709 Oregon elementary schools (48th percentile, 2 stars), slightly above Coos Bay School District 9 (90th of 141, 36th percentile, 2 stars). Its recent history has been mid-range statewide, with stronger years in 2021–2022 (58th percentile, 3 stars) and 2024–2025 (56th percentile, 3 stars).

Its strongest differentiator is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 18.2% in 2024–2025, far below the district’s 40.4% and the state’s 33.5%, and lower than nearby Hillcrest Elementary School 22.4%, Eastside School 31.2%, Coquille Valley Elementary 32.9%, North Bay Elementary School 33.8%, Millicoma School 34.6%, Madison Elementary School 35.6%, Ocean Crest Elementary School 35.9%, Winter Lakes Elementary 44.3%, Sunset School 44.7%, and Lincoln School of Early Learning 70.3%. In 2025–2026 OSAS all-grade results, the school scored ELA 44%, math 32.3%, and science 34.2%—above its district in all three subjects, near the state average in ELA and math, and above the state average in science. Within the district, Sunset School is far lower (ELA 23.7%, math 15.2%, science 14.1%), while Millicoma School has similar ELA (44.8%) but lower math and science.

Grade-level results show a major split: 5th grade is very weak (ELA 13.6%, math under 5%, science 21.7%), while 6th–8th grade ELA is strong (59.1%, 60.9%, 64.3%), 7th–8th math is generally solid, 8th grade science is a standout at 53.3%, and 4th grade math is strong at 52.2%. The school serves a high-poverty population—free/reduced lunch was 75.37%—and spends only $7,092 per student, far below Madison Elementary School $19,037, Sunset School $21,676, Eastside School $19,957, Millicoma School $18,160, Ocean Crest Elementary School $20,420, Lincoln School of Early Learning $24,009, Coquille Valley Elementary $19,128, North Bay Elementary School $20,191, and Hillcrest Elementary School $16,109; Winter Lakes Elementary is similarly low at $7,062. Its student-teacher ratio of 13.7 is lower than most nearby schools. Overall, the school is at or near the top within Coos Bay but mid-tier regionally: Hillcrest Elementary School and Coquille Valley Elementary score higher in most subjects, and North Bay Elementary School is higher in ELA and math.

Right down in the middle of the pack. A small school should be able to bring student achievements up, but the numbers don't reflect this advantage. This is a charter school for parents wishing to shield their children from a world no one can hide from. It makes for a weaker education. Close Quote
