Education
There is one school district in the county: Crook County School District.[5]
Powell Butte houses the 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.[6] The district sought to close the school due to a reduced budget.[7] 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.[8] In response, people in Powell Butte did fundraising so the school would instead have its grade span up to the fifth grade.[9] A $505,000 grant was used to help establish the charter for the school.[10] The school relies on a septic tank.[7]
All of Crook County is assigned to Crook County High School.[11]
Crook County is in the boundary of Central Oregon Community College.[12]
