CRATER SCHOOL OF BUSINESS INNOVATION AND SCIENCE

Crater School of Business Innovation and Science is a public high school that is part of the Central Point SD 6 school district, located in Central Point, OR with about 450 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 21 teachers, Crater School of Business Innovation and Science has a student/teacher ratio of about 21:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The Crater School of Business, Innovation, and Science (BIS) is one of the four "small schools" located on the Crater High School campus in Central Point, Oregon. Operating within a unique model that divides the larger high school into smaller, focused learning communities, BIS is designed to provide a more personalized educational experience. The school emphasizes a career-technical and academic curriculum that prepares students for the modern workforce and higher education by blending traditional coursework with real-world applications in business management, entrepreneurship, and scientific inquiry.

At the heart of the BIS philosophy is a commitment to project-based learning and interdisciplinary collaboration. Students at the school are encouraged to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and leadership skills through rigorous instruction and engagement with professional practices. By maintaining smaller class sizes and fostering close relationships between students and staff, the school aims to cultivate a tight-knit community where students can pursue their specific interests in business and science while still participating in the broader extracurricular and athletic programs offered by the integrated Crater campus.
