Summary

Redmond Proficiency Academy is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in Redmond, Oregon, which is part of the Redmond School District 2J. While the district is ranked 51 out of 140 in the state, Redmond Proficiency Academy has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 34th out of 301 Oregon high schools in 2013-2014 to 156th out of 270 in the most recent 2024-2025 school year.

Compared to other high schools in the Redmond area, such as Ridgeview High School and Redmond High School, Redmond Proficiency Academy has lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as lower four-year graduation rates. For example, in 2024-2025, only 40% of 11th graders at Redmond Proficiency Academy were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 35% for the district and 44.4% for the state. The school's math proficiency rates are particularly low, with only 7.7% of 11th graders meeting or exceeding standards, compared to 11.4% for the district and 20.3% for the state.

Another area of concern for Redmond Proficiency Academy is its significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate, which was 34.3% in 2023-2024, compared to 35.9% and 47.0% in the previous two years. This is notably higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's spending per student ($7,085 in 2022-2023) is lower than the nearby Ridgeview High School ($15,945) and Redmond High School ($16,649), which may be a contributing factor to its performance challenges.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, September 12, 2013

Useful? Not sure, "useful" being relevant only according to what information the person happens to be looking for. Isn't that the problem; that the only information available about schools has to do with state report cards and performance levels, academically? What about the heart? What about the soul? What about the kindness, care, compassion? These elements to school life do not seem to exist, no matter where I send my children, public school or charter. I give RPA a "poor" rating not due to its performance level, but for its false claims of being some kind of entity above the rest in this mess we call "the school system." I can honestly say that I've never encountered a school that went above and beyond to claim excellence from a humanitarian viewpoint the way this school does, only to have the promise fall completely flat. This school is still run by the type of administrators who will band together, gang up on you when you indicate feelings of there being a problem, and chase you out. Make no mistake. Your child can either deal with whatever garbage they're issued by whichever crabby individual feels like issuing it, or your child can get the heck out. Or you can get the heck out. They might even ban you for life from every campus in the district, depending on the way you deal with frustration. Make no mistake, this is not the type of charter school that goes above and beyond to meet you anywhere in the middle. Nay, it is more a place to put wild egos on display and to high five each other, those in the "in" crowd. There are god complexes at work here. I'm disappointed in this school. They really ought not be quoting Ghandi if they feel infallible. I really don't think Ghandi was into that. Good luck out there. The school system can really be a mess for some of us parents, can't it? In the words of Bunny Bennett "just keep smiling and riding that wave." Close Quote
