Days Creek Charter School

Summary:

Days Creek Charter School is an alternative public charter school located in Days Creek, Oregon, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 236 students. It is the only school in the immediate vicinity, with the nearest comparable school being the South Umpqua Online Academy, which is located approximately 8.27 miles away.

While Days Creek Charter School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and high spending per student, its academic performance is generally lower than the state average. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently below the state benchmarks, with the exception of 5th-grade ELA and 4th-grade ELA, where the school's performance is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of students (69.92%) who are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population with significant socioeconomic challenges.

In comparison, the South Umpqua Online Academy, the nearest comparable school, has a much smaller student population of 14 and significantly lower spending per student ($6,316 in 2021-2022) compared to Days Creek Charter School ($22,971 in 2021-2022). This suggests that the academic challenges faced by Days Creek Charter School may not be solely due to resource constraints, but rather a complex interplay of factors, including the school's instructional practices, support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, and the unique needs of the local community.

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.
