Summary

Bethany Charter School is a public charter elementary school serving 136 students in grades K-8 in Silverton, Oregon. Part of the Silver Falls School District 4J, which is ranked 26 out of 140 districts in the state, Bethany Charter School has consistently been ranked among the top elementary schools in Oregon, with a current ranking of 144 out of 706 schools and a 4-star rating.

Bethany Charter School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Bethany Charter School's 6th-grade ELA proficiency rate was 78.6%, compared to 47.7% for the Silver Falls School District and 41.7% for the state. The school also has consistently high rankings for its performance with specific student subgroups, such as White students and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

However, Bethany Charter School has experienced a higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state and district averages, ranging from 21.5% to 38.1% over the past few years. This may be related to the school's higher student-teacher ratio, which ranges from 21.8 to 24.1 students per teacher, compared to the nearby traditional public schools. While Bethany Charter School generally outperforms the nearby schools in the Silver Falls School District, Evergreen Elementary has consistently been one of the top-performing elementary schools in the state.
