Summary

Paisley School is a virtual public charter school serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 192 students in Paisley, Oregon. As an alternative educational model, Paisley School has seen some unique challenges and opportunities reflected in its key performance metrics.

While Paisley School's four-year graduation rates have fluctuated between 60% and 81.8% in recent years, this is an area of concern as it falls below the state average of around 80%. Additionally, the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 6% to 38.1%, which is significantly higher than the state average of 15-20%. Academically, Paisley School's performance on the OSAS tests has been mixed, with some grade levels performing above the state average in English Language Arts but below in Mathematics and Science. The school's relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 28.1 to 36.6, may contribute to the academic performance challenges.

Despite these areas for improvement, Paisley School's unique virtual charter school model also presents opportunities. The school's spending per student, at $19,407 and $17,098 in the past two school years, is relatively high, which may be due to the operational costs associated with this educational approach. By closely analyzing the key metrics and addressing the underlying factors, Paisley School can work to enhance student engagement, academic performance, and overall educational outcomes for its diverse student population within the Paisley School District 11.
