Summary

North Lake School is an alternative public school in Silver Lake, Oregon, serving 221 students in grades K-12. This unique school has a distinct profile compared to others in the area, with a focus on providing an alternative educational approach for its students.

While North Lake School has seen fluctuations in its graduation rates, ranging from 68.8% to 96.2% in recent years, it has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 34.3% to 50.2%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages across various grade levels and subject areas. However, the school has a relatively high per-student spending of $27,914, which is significantly higher than the state average, suggesting a significant investment in supporting its unique student population.

As an alternative school, North Lake School likely serves students with unique needs and challenges that may not be well-served by traditional educational models. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and the variability in graduation rates suggest that the school may be struggling to engage and retain its students, which could be contributing to its academic performance. Additionally, the exceptionally high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 1680% to 1901.81%, indicates that the school serves a population facing significant economic challenges, which may require specialized support and interventions to address their unique needs.

Thursday, June 13, 2013

For the past five years this school has gone downhill fast. The administration is to blame for not keeping up with current educational trends and holding teachers accountable! With a new administration I hope this school will rise to its former great place, but it is not so great at the moment Close Quote
