Summary

Powell Butte Community Charter School is an elementary school serving 213 students in grades K-8 in Powell Butte, Oregon, which is part of the Crook County School District. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with 82.1% of 5th-graders meeting or exceeding standards in 2024-2025, compared to 57.5% for the district and 46.7% for the state. However, the school's math and science proficiency rates are more mixed, with some grade levels exceeding the district and state, while others fall behind.

One area of concern for Powell Butte Community Charter School is its relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.2% to 38.1% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school serves a lower percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, with 23% receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, compared to the district's overall rate of 64.35%. Despite these challenges, the school has maintained a strong academic performance, consistently ranking in the top half of Oregon elementary schools and earning 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger.

When compared to nearby schools in the Redmond School District 2J, Powell Butte Community Charter School generally outperforms them in academic proficiency, particularly in ELA. However, the Redmond schools tend to have lower chronic absenteeism rates and higher percentages of students from low-income backgrounds, suggesting that Powell Butte Community Charter School may be serving a more advantaged student population.
