Summary:
The Harney County School District 4 in Oregon is home to two schools: Oregon Family School, a public charter virtual alternative school serving grades K-12 with 746 students, and Crane Elementary School, a traditional public elementary school serving grades K-8 with 168 students.
Based on the data, Crane Elementary School appears to be the standout school in the district. Crane Elementary consistently ranks among the top 104 elementary schools in Oregon, with students significantly outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. In contrast, Oregon Family School lags behind the district and state on most academic metrics, with proficiency rates typically 10-20 percentage points lower than Crane Elementary and the district.
The data reveals a significant performance gap between the two schools, with Crane Elementary spending $24,034 per student compared to just $378 per student at Oregon Family School. This raises questions about resource allocation and equity within the district. Additionally, Crane Elementary has a lower student-teacher ratio of 15:1, which may contribute to their stronger academic results compared to the 22.9:1 ratio at Oregon Family School.
