- Powell Butte Community Charter School - In 2009 it became a charter school as per a vote from the district board of trustees. This went forward instead of an initial decision to close the school. The district sought to close the school due to a reduced budget. The impetus to convert to a charter came before the school district formally sought to close the school, as parents felt a closure would be likely upon seeing the grade span reduced to ending at the third grade instead of ending at the sixth grade. In response, people in Powell Butte did fundraising so the school would instead have its grade span up to the fifth grade. A $505,000 grant was used to help establish the charter for the school. The school relies on a septic tank.
