Harper Charter School

Summary:

Harper Charter School is an alternative public charter school serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 218 students in the small town of Harper, Oregon. This unique educational institution offers a more personalized and flexible learning environment compared to traditional public schools in the area.

Harper Charter School consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with 11th-grade students achieving 64.3% proficiency in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 45.2%. However, the school's mathematics performance is mixed, with some grade levels exceeding the state average while others fall below. Additionally, the school's science proficiency is lower than the state average, with 11th-grade students scoring 14.3% proficient in 2023-2024, compared to the state's 32%. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 18.5 to 23.1 over the past three school years, and higher spending per student of $17,177 in 2021-2022 may contribute to the personalized learning approach.

The diverse student population at Harper Charter School, as indicated by the fluctuating free and reduced-price lunch rates, suggests that the school may need to tailor its approaches to address the unique needs and backgrounds of its students. Overall, Harper School District 66 appears to be providing a unique educational experience, with strengths in ELA and opportunities for improvement in mathematics and science.

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.
