Safe & Welcoming Environment
At Oregon Charter Academy we focus our work on individually engaging all students with the goal of building community and demonstrating academic success for every student. ORCA continues to provide excellent academic support for all students and develop processes to quickly and appropriately address academic concerns. We have made significant changes to our learning platform and curriculum to better meet the needs of our students. ORCA exceeds the state average on all state assessment scores but continues to focus on regular attendance, graduation rate, and ninth grade on track.
The Oregon Department of Education is collaborating with school districts and communities across the state to achieve a 90% ontime graduation rate by 2027. Grounded in the pillars of Academic Excellence, Belonging and Wellness, and Reimagined Accountability, ODE prioritizes evidence-based practices to boost early literacy, attendance, and student engagement. We are committed to closing opportunity and achievement gaps for marginalized students and securing long-term success for all of Oregon’s learners by investing in culturally responsive practices, fostering inclusive environments and always driving for continuous improvement.
ORCA is diligent in creating a safe and welcoming environment for all students, families, and staff where diversity and inclusion are honored. We provide families the opportunity to share concerns and participate in Safe Oregon. We also celebrate antibullying month in October. Diversity, equity & bias training is provided to all staff and students focusing on creating a safe learning environment for all. ORCA has policies and procedures on how to report and eliminate harassment. Students have the opportunity to participate in various school counseling groups and clubs to encourage an inclusive environment.
Starting in 2023-24, Senate Bill 923 updated the requirements for reporting a student's school information. More students are now included in school level rates.
