Summary

Elkton Charter School is a K–12 public charter school on River Road in the small rural town of Elkton, Oregon (population roughly 150), serving 235 students as the only school in the Elkton School District 34 — the school and the district are one and the same, and there are no other schools within 20 miles to compare it against, so the state of Oregon is the only outside benchmark available.

Compared with Oregon overall, the school's clearest strength is reading: 56.4% of students met the English Language Arts standard versus 43.8% statewide, a 12.6-point advantage. The elementary and middle grades are the strongest part of the building — grades 3 through 6 beat the state in both reading and math, with 6th-grade reading at 72.7% against 41.8% statewide. The five-year graduation average is 88.5% versus 81.6% for Oregon, although that edge has narrowed to just 1.2 points in 2024–25. The most serious concern is chronic absenteeism: in the three years before 2024–25, roughly one in two students was chronically absent, about 10.6 points worse than the state. Encouragingly, that figure has improved three years running, from 52.5% to 47.8% to 41.7%.

Math is more uneven than the overall 34.0% (close to the state's 32.9%) suggests. Grades 3 through 6 are above state, but 7th grade falls to 15.4% in math — 17.9 points below state — and 11th grade to 13.3%, 9.6 points below. With class cohorts of roughly 11 to 17 students, one student is worth about 6 to 9 percentage points, so single-year swings should be read with caution. Per-student spending is high at $27,397, but it has dropped 10.9% since 2022–23 while the student–teacher ratio rose to 13.9 to 1.

Wonderful School! Well supported. Close Quote

Monday, May 14, 2018

Elkton Charter School developed a well integrated plan for use of its Charter School money and rights. Its charter focuses on ecology using its position on the Umpqua River, and less than an hour from the Oregon Coast as a tool. It's emphasis on technology, agriculture, and integrated art allows for a variety of skills to develop. The staff supports academic development, and athletic/social development and helps the graduates plan for their futures as part of the curriculum. They have a remarkably state high ranking for a small town school. Close Quote
