DAYS CREEK CHARTER SCHOOL

Days Creek Charter School is a Title I public charter school that is part of the Douglas County SD 15 school district, located in Days Creek, OR with about 193 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 12 teachers, Days Creek Charter School has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. 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.

Days Creek Charter School, located in the rural community of Days Creek, Oregon, serves as a central hub for K-12 education in the Upper South Umpqua Valley. Operating as a public charter school, it maintains a small-town atmosphere that emphasizes close-knit relationships between students, faculty, and the local community. The school prides itself on providing a personalized learning environment where multi-grade interactions and a supportive culture are prioritized to help students succeed academically and socially.

Academically, the school offers a standard K-12 curriculum with a focus on preparing students for life beyond graduation, whether they choose to pursue higher education or enter the workforce. Because of its size and status as a charter, Days Creek is often able to offer more flexible programming and a "small school" environment that provides individualized attention that might be unavailable in larger districts. By fostering a strong connection to its rural roots and utilizing its unique charter status, the school aims to be a stable and nurturing educational pillar for the families living along the Tiller Trail Highway.
