Four Rivers Community School

Summary:

Four Rivers Community School is an alternative public charter school in Ontario, Oregon, serving 361 students in grades K-12. This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, consistently outpacing state and district averages in English Language Arts and Science proficiency.

Despite serving a high-needs population, with 85-92% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Four Rivers Community School has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 16.3 to 19.4 students per teacher. This smaller class size may contribute to the school's academic success, as evidenced by its 11th-grade ELA proficiency rate of 82.6%, compared to the state average of 45.2%, and its 11th-grade Science proficiency rate of 56.5%, significantly higher than the state's 32%.

In comparison, the nearby Nyssa Virtual School, also an alternative school, does not appear to match the academic performance of Four Rivers Community School. For example, in 2023-2024, Four Rivers Community School's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate was 24%, compared to Nyssa Virtual School's 54.5%. This suggests Four Rivers Community School may have more effective instructional practices or a stronger focus on academic achievement, which could provide valuable insights for other schools and districts seeking to improve educational outcomes, particularly for socioeconomically disadvantaged students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
