Alliance Charter Academy

Summary:

Alliance Charter Academy is an alternative public charter school located in Oregon City School District 62, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 368 students.

Alliance Charter Academy consistently outperforms the Oregon City School District and the state of Oregon in academic proficiency across all grade levels, particularly in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, the school's 11th-grade proficiency rates are 61.9% in ELA, 42.1% in Math, and 55% in Science, compared to the district's 51.1%, 21.7%, and 36.2%, respectively. Additionally, Alliance Charter Academy has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 17 to 19.5 students per teacher, which is lower than nearby alternative schools.

While Alliance Charter Academy outperforms the nearby alternative schools in academic proficiency, it is important to note that these schools serve different student populations and may have different educational approaches. For instance, schools like The Creeks and Functional Living Skills Program have much lower student-teacher ratios, which may be better suited for students with specialized needs. Additionally, Metro East Web Academy and Tigard-Tualatin Virtual Academy are virtual schools, which may attract a different student demographic and have different instructional methods compared to a traditional brick-and-mortar school like Alliance Charter Academy.

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.

Open Quote This school claims to be flexible and teach at a student's own pace, accommodating a wide variety of learning styles to help your children succeed... It's disappointing to say the least. Most of the teachers stick to a "one size fits all" curriculum, holding the smarter students back to keep the whole class on the same page.

Very little hands-on experience is provided, save for science and extracurricular classes. While a few of the teachers put tremendous effort into designing a flexible curriculum, most prefer not to cater to those needs. If your child has issues with reading and writing, this school is NOT for them.

While all of the teachers at this school are required to have masters degrees, it's quite obvious that some of them do not have degrees in the topic they're teaching. All of the teachers are very intelligent and well certified, but they are often teaching the wrong subject due to the lack of diversity in the staff.

This school is for grades K-12, which only provides more stress for all of the students and parents involved. The younger students are being exposed to things that they aren't ready for, socially and academically, and the older students feel crowded and babied. A few of the teachers are intimidated by the older students and either have trouble enforcing rules, or go overboard and treat students like convicts.

It seems that many of the teachers and staff simply don't understand what they're allowed to do. There have been several incidents of teachers publicly disclosing student grades in their classes, which is completely unacceptable and illegal.

Every attempt to get the children involved in student government and events has resulted in miserable failure, and generally the rules only get more strict afterwards. The school is still much more lenient than a traditional public school, but with the lack of social and academic opportunities it really isn't worth it.

A vast majority of the families attending are zealously christian, which is great if you're christian. But if you wish for your child to be exposed to an open-minded atmosphere welcoming of religious diversity, this isn't the place. Anything that doesn't strictly adhere to their religious beliefs is savagely attacked by students and parents alike. (For instance, the GSA was met with incredible hostility.)

Overall, the complete lack of coordination, communication, attention, patience, qualification and accommodation, coupled with the clashing age groups and intolerance, provide way too much drama for my tastes. This school talks big, but it's simply a disappointment. Close Quote

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.
