Summary

Bridge Charter Academy is an alternative K–12 school in Lowell, Oregon, a small community in the Willamette Valley, serving 546 students as part of Lowell School District 71, which ranks 58th of 141 Oregon districts (59th percentile) with 3 stars. The nearest comparable alternative K–12 schools are 15–19 miles away: Teach-NW (655 students, Marcola School District 79J), Academy for Character Education and Childs Way Charter School (both in South Lane School District 45J3), and the very small Lane School in Lane Education Service District. Bridge is the second-largest school in that group. Bridge's graduation rate was 84.2% in 2024–25, above Oregon's 83.0% but slightly below its own district's 87.2%, and down from the low-to-mid 90s in 2020–21 and 2021–22. That places it well ahead of Teach-NW (61.0%) and Childs Way (57.1%), but behind Academy for Character Education (95.5%). Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, falling from 56.6% in 2022–23 to 30.6% in 2024–25 — now better than both district and state, though Childs Way reports 24.2%. Academically, the picture is uneven. All-grade English language arts (39.8%) and math (29.8%) trail district and state, while science (37.3%) beats both. Eleventh-grade results are strong: ELA 61.1%, math 38.9%, and science 64.0%, all above state. But 3rd-grade ELA and math, 6th-grade ELA, 8th-grade ELA, and especially 6th-grade math (under 5%) are weak. Meanwhile, per-student spending fell about 35% between 2022–23 and 2024–25, to $3,430, and the student-teacher ratio rose from 20.0 to 27.3.
