Pivot Charter School North Valley II District

Pivot Charter School North Valley II District has one school, Pivot Charter School North Valley II, a California high school serving grades 6–12 with 105 students. In 2025–2026, its results were mixed: science was about level with the state, ELA was close, and mathematics was far behind. The most important concern is math: 18% of students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide, a 21-point gap.

Because there is only one school, it is both the district’s highest- and lowest-ranked school, so there is no meaningful peer comparison. Against California, the school was slightly ahead in science (37% versus 36%, a 1-point advantage) and a little behind in ELA (47% versus 49%, a 3-point gap), while its math result was substantially lower. The math shortfall also appears in grades 8 and 11: the school was 15% versus 36% statewide in grade 8, and 12% versus 32% in grade 11. Other outcomes were also less favorable than state figures: graduation was 71% versus 88%, dropout was 27% versus 8%, and chronic absenteeism was 50% versus 18%.

Subject results improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, and the school narrowed its gap with California in all three subjects. ELA rose from 43% to 47%, math from 9% to 18%, and science from 27% to 37%; science moved from below the state to slightly above it, while math remained well behind. SchoolDigger lists the school at the 40th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026; its percentile was 41 in 2023–2024 and 36 in 2024–2025, showing fluctuation rather than a steady trend. Context figures include a 22.8:1 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 66% free/reduced lunch eligible that year; California reports all students receive free meals (Community Eligibility). These figures provide context, not an explanation for the school’s results.
