Kings Valley Charter School

Summary:

Kings Valley Charter School is an alternative public charter school located in Philomath, Oregon, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 204 students. The school is part of the Philomath School District 17J, which is ranked 35 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Kings Valley Charter School generally underperforms the Philomath School District 17J and the state of Oregon in terms of proficiency rates on the OSAS (Oregon Statewide Assessment System) tests, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.7 to 14.7 over the past three school years. This suggests a more personalized learning environment compared to the district and state. However, the school's lower spending per student, at $6,982 for the 2021-2022 school year, may contribute to the lower test scores. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 37.75% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

When compared to other nearby schools, such as Eddyville Charter School and Philomath Academy, Kings Valley Charter School generally performs better in terms of test scores and student-teacher ratio, but has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The inconsistent academic performance across grade levels and subject areas suggests that the school could benefit from targeted interventions and support, particularly in the upper grades where proficiency rates are significantly lower than the district and state.

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.
