Summary

Sweet Home Charter School is a K–6 public charter school in Sweet Home, Oregon, serving 142 students as part of Sweet Home School District 55. It ranks 111th of 709 Oregon elementary schools (84th percentile, 4 stars) for 2025–2026. In 2025–2026, 58.8% of students met standards in English Language Arts, 62.5% in math, and 40.0% in science — all well above district and state averages, with math running roughly 2.2 times the district rate and about 1.9 times the state rate.

Compared with the four other elementaries in its district — Foster Elementary School, Hawthorne Elementary School, Holley Elementary School, and Oak Heights Elementary School, all within a few miles — it scores 16 to 37 points higher in ELA and 26 to 37 points higher in math. Only Oak Heights tops it anywhere, in science (45.9% vs. 40.0%). Region-wide, the two charters form a separate tier: Sand Ridge Charter School ranks higher overall and leads in ELA and science, while Sweet Home Charter leads in math (62.5% vs. 56.3%) and attendance. Sweet Home Charter spends $5,755 per student — about a quarter to a third of nearby district schools ($14,936–$25,164) — while running the region's largest classes (23.6 students per teacher). Charter funding structures differ, so treat spending figures as context rather than proof.

Its 24.5% chronic absenteeism rate is the lowest nearby (others range 26.9%–44.0%) and below the state's 33.5%. After a decade between the 51st and 67th percentiles, the school rose to the 82nd percentile in 2024–2025 and 84th in 2025–2026. One soft spot: 3rd-grade ELA, at 40% versus the district's 42.9% — the only below-district result in the data, even as 3rd-grade math (50%) beats the district (40.7%). With 62.7% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, its earlier strength among low-income students will be worth watching as newer results arrive.
