Summary

Sweet Home Charter School is a high-performing elementary school serving grades K-6 in Sweet Home, Oregon, with 143 students enrolled. The school is part of the Sweet Home School District 55, which is ranked 74 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite this, Sweet Home Charter School has consistently maintained a 3-star rating and outperforms the district and state in standardized test scores.

One key factor that sets Sweet Home Charter School apart is its strong academic performance, particularly among students from low-income backgrounds. In the 2024-2025 school year, 66.7% of 3rd graders at the school were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 43.5% in the district and 40.3% statewide. Similarly, in 4th grade math, 78.9% of students at Sweet Home Charter School were proficient or better, compared to 34.8% in the district and 36.9% statewide. This is impressive, given that 60.14% of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. When compared to other elementary schools in the Sweet Home School District and the neighboring Lebanon Community School District, Sweet Home Charter School stands out as a high-performing institution.

However, the school does face some challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 23.1% to 42.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has shown some disparities in the performance of different student subgroups, with male and white students outperforming their female and non-white counterparts. Despite these issues, Sweet Home Charter School's ability to achieve strong academic results with relatively low per-student spending of $6,097 in the 2022-2023 school year suggests that it may have valuable practices and strategies that could be shared with other schools in the district and state.
