Camas Valley School

Summary:

Camas Valley School is an alternative public charter school serving grades PK-12 in Camas Valley, Oregon, with a total enrollment of 214 students. As an alternative school, it likely offers a more personalized and flexible learning environment compared to traditional public schools.

Camas Valley School's academic performance is mixed, with the school performing better than the state in 7th grade English Language Arts (ELA) but lagging behind in most other grade levels and subjects, particularly in lower elementary grades and in Math. The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 50.47%, suggesting it serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Camas Valley School also spends significantly more per student ($21,758 in 2021-2022) compared to the nearby South Umpqua Online Academy ($6,316 in 2021-2022), which may indicate a more specialized and personalized approach to education.

The higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio at Camas Valley School compared to South Umpqua Online Academy could be a strength, but the school should ensure that the higher spending translates into improved academic outcomes for students. Additionally, the lack of nearby comparison schools makes it difficult to fully evaluate Camas Valley School's performance and position within the local educational landscape.

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.
