Summary

Bethany Charter School is a K–8 charter school in Silverton, Oregon, serving 136 students in Silver Falls School District 4J, a district ranked 28th of 141 in Oregon. The school itself is ranked 134th of 709 Oregon schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 81st percentile with 4 stars.

Academics are the school's strongest selling point. In 2025–2026 state test results, all-grade English language arts proficiency was 64.4% — above the district's 51.3% and the state's 43.8% — while math was 54.4% versus 37% district and 32.9% state. ELA is above district and state at every tested grade, with 7th grade at 76.9% and 8th grade at 73.3%. Math is strong in most grades too (3rd grade 80%, 4th grade 64.7%), with one clear exception: 5th grade math at 14.3%, far below the district's 36.7% and the state's 32.4%. Because Bethany is small and spans K–8, one grade can swing noticeably from year to year, but it is worth asking about. Science is comparatively modest — 37.9% all-grade, above the state's 30.6% but below the district's 40.5% and behind peers such as Robert Frost Elementary School (62%).

Chronic absenteeism is a standout: 14.4% in 2024–2025, less than half the district and state rates and lower than most nearby schools, including Butte Creek Elementary School, Mark Twain Elementary, Central Howell Elementary School, and The Community Roots School. Bethany achieves this with per-student spending of $15,401 — below several nearby schools — and a student–teacher ratio of 19.1, improved from 24.1 the year before. Subgroup results show strong recent outcomes for male students (76th percentile in 2025–2026, up from 55th in 2023–2024) and a strong low-income result in 2021–2022. The school's best recent year was 2021–2022 at the 89th percentile; after a dip to the 75th percentile in 2023–2024, it has recovered to the 80th and 81st.
