Summary:
ZIP code 97867 contains just one school: North Powder Charter School, an alternative school serving grades K–12 at 333 G St in North Powder, with 252 students enrolled in North Powder School District 8J. Because it is the only school in the area, there is no other local school to compare it against, so the most useful benchmark is the Oregon state average. The data spans two school years: graduation rate, chronic absenteeism, free/reduced lunch, per-student spending, and student-teacher ratio for 2024–2025, and OSAS test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science for 2025–2026.
The school's standout strengths are in English Language Arts, where all-grade proficiency is 51.7% versus 43.8% statewide, led by 4th grade ELA at 78.3%, 3rd grade at 60.0%, and 5th grade at 58.8%. Eighth grade science is also a bright spot at 47.4%, well above the state's 27.7%. The graduation rate is 100.0%, compared with 83.0% statewide, and chronic absenteeism is 25.2% versus 33.5% statewide. Contextual facts include a student-teacher ratio of 10.8:1, per-student spending of $24,525, and 89.68% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch.
Areas to watch include all-grade Mathematics at 29.1% proficient versus 32.9% statewide and all-grade Science at 28.3% versus 30.6%. The weakest reported results are 5th grade math at 11.8%, 7th grade math at 11.8%, and 11th grade science at 10.0%, far below their state averages. The state suppressed 11th grade ELA and Mathematics results, so high-school performance in those subjects is unknown. With 252 students across K–12, grade-level cohorts are likely small, and a single student can shift a percentage by several points, so these swings should be read with caution.
