Prospect Charter School

Summary:

Prospect Charter School is an alternative public charter school in Prospect, Oregon, serving 226 students in grades K-12. The school is part of the Prospect School District 59 and serves a predominantly low-income student population, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Prospect Charter School consistently underperforms compared to the state average on OSAS (Oregon Statewide Assessment System) tests. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 11th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate was 15.4%, compared to the state average of 45.2%. Similarly, the school's 8th-grade Math proficiency rate was 10%, compared to the state average of 26.4%. Interestingly, the nearby Butte Falls Charter School, located 15.15 miles away, also shows lower academic performance compared to the state averages.

Despite the low academic performance, Prospect Charter School and Butte Falls Charter School have higher spending per student compared to the state average, ranging from $20,121 to $24,391 per student. Additionally, both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by these schools. The high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at Prospect Charter School indicates that socioeconomic factors may play a significant role in the academic performance of the school.

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.
