Summary

Powell Butte Community Charter School is a K–8 charter school serving 212 students in rural Powell Butte, Oregon, part of the Crook County School District, a district that ranks among Oregon's strongest. In 2025–2026 the school placed 345th of 709 Oregon schools — the 51st percentile, 3 stars — after a run of stronger years: it sat at the 80th percentile with 4 stars in 2023–2024, then slipped to the 68th percentile in 2024–2025 and 51st in 2025–2026.

Academically its profile is uneven in a telling way. All-grade English language arts (55.8%) and science (38.5%) beat both district and state averages, and its ELA trails only Steins Pillar Elementary among nearby schools. Math is the weak spot at 34.4%, below the district's 40.9% and lower than most neighbors, including Crooked River Elementary School, Barnes Butte Elementary, Sage Elementary School, Tom McCall Elementary School and John Tuck Elementary School. Those averages also hide a sharp grade-level split: 8th grade is a standout (93.8% ELA, 43.8% math, 50% science) and 7th grade math is strong at 55%, while grades 3–5 lag in math — 5th grade math sits at 21.7% against 38.6% district and 32.4% state.

Chronic absenteeism in 2024–2025 was 29.5% — better than the district's 30.1% and the state's 33.5%, but higher than every nearby school, which ranged from 20.0% to 25.7%. Per-pupil spending is strikingly different too: $6,191, roughly a third of what most nearby district elementaries spend, with only Grizzly Mountain HomeLink spending less at $4,587. The free/reduced-price lunch rate jumped from about 23% to 72.64% in 2024–2025, now in line with surrounding schools, which changes how recent trends should be read. Compared with Grizzly Mountain HomeLink, the other nearby K–8, Powell Butte scores far higher in every subject.
