Arlington Community Charter School

Summary:

Arlington Community Charter School is an alternative public charter school serving 150 students in grades K-12 in Arlington, Oregon, which is part of the Arlington School District 3. As a charter school, it offers a unique educational approach compared to the traditional public schools in the district.

The school consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with 11th-grade students achieving 64.3% proficiency compared to the state average of 45.2%. However, the school struggles in Mathematics, with proficiency rates significantly below the state average, particularly in 8th grade (6.3% vs. 26.4%). The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.7 to 11.5 over the past three school years, and spends significantly more per student ($29,502 in 2021-2022) compared to the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.91% to 53.33% over the past three school years.

The school's strong performance in ELA, particularly in 11th grade, suggests that its educational approach is effective in developing students' language arts skills. However, the school's struggles in Mathematics indicate a need to re-evaluate and strengthen the math curriculum and instructional methods. As an alternative charter school, Arlington Community Charter School likely employs a unique educational model that caters to the specific needs and learning styles of its students, which may require additional support and resources to ensure the academic success of its diverse student population.

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.
