Alsea Charter School

Summary:

Alsea Charter School is an alternative public charter school located in Alsea, Oregon, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 509 students. The school is part of the Alsea School District 7J and offers a unique educational approach compared to traditional public schools in the area.

Alsea Charter School's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the state average across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 11th-grade proficiency rates in ELA and Math were 23.1%, compared to the state averages of 45.2% and 20%, respectively. However, the school's science proficiency rates are higher than the state average, with 46.2% of 11th-graders proficient in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 32%. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 38.7% in the 2022-2023 school year, and a lower student-teacher ratio of 18.5 in the 2020-2021 school year.

Nearby schools, such as Eddyville Charter School and Triangle Lake Charter School, have similar low test scores or mixed performance compared to the state average. The consistent underperformance of Alsea Charter School and the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch may be contributing factors to the school's academic challenges. Further investigation into the school's practices and the needs of its student population could provide valuable insights to help improve student outcomes.

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.
