McKenzie River Community School

Summary:

McKenzie River Community School is an alternative public charter school located in Vida, Oregon, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 174 students. As an alternative school, it likely offers a more personalized and flexible learning environment compared to traditional public schools.

The school generally performs better than the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across most grade levels, with some exceptions. Its ELA proficiency rates are above the state average in grades 4, 5, 7, and 8, while slightly below in grade 3 and significantly below in grade 6. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates are above the state average in grades 7 and 8, but below the state average in grades 3, 4, 5, and 8. The school's Science proficiency rates are above the state average in grade 8 but significantly below in grade 5. With a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 84.48% to 98.4%, the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. However, the school's spending per student is significantly higher than the state average at $33,804, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.1 to 11.

The school's performance tends to be consistent across grade levels, suggesting a well-developed curriculum and instructional practices. Its strengths are particularly evident in the upper grade levels, while the lower grade levels, especially grades 3 and 6, face some challenges. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may require the school to allocate additional resources and implement targeted strategies to support the academic and social-emotional needs of its students. The increased funding and smaller class sizes could be key factors in the school's overall performance, particularly in the upper grade levels where it excels.

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.
