Classes run notably small here: at 9.3:1, Arlington Community Charter School is leaner than roughly 95% of Oregon schools and 47% under the state's 17.6:1 norm, more adult attention per pupil than most peers.

Its free-meal eligibility rate of 47.3% lands close to the Oregon typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.

Enrollment of 130 puts it in the smaller third of Oregon schools by headcount.

Its Resource Investment Index lands in the upper third of 1,273 scored Oregon schools.

Its student body is predominantly White (87% of enrollment) (diversity index 24/100).

Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 69.2% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).

The surrounding Arlington Sd 3 spends $23,475 per pupil, 30% above the Oregon average, a better-resourced district than most.
