These resources sit alongside strong outcomes, though the data does not establish causation. Although labeled alternative, the school serves K–12 and is the only school in the area, so its results should be read with that structure in mind. Bottom line: the school reports very strong outcomes relative to Oregon—perfect graduation, low chronic absenteeism, and above-state proficiency in all three all-grade OSAS subjects—with 11th grade and 7th grade ELA as clearest strengths, and 8th grade ELA and 5th grade science/math as the main relative watch areas.
