Summary:
The Pivot Charter School North Valley II District in Chico, California, contains a single, small charter school, Pivot Charter School North Valley II, which serves grades 6 through 12 with an enrollment of about 105 students.
This school faces significant challenges, particularly with student engagement and core academic performance. The chronic absenteeism rate is extremely high at 55.1%, and the dropout rate of 34.6% is more than four times the state average. Academically, mathematics proficiency is a critical area of concern, with only 8.62% of students testing as proficient, which is far below state averages. English Language Arts performance, while below the state average, is the school's relative strength.
Despite these difficulties, the data shows some positive notes for students who persist; for example, 12th graders at the school demonstrated stronger science proficiency than the state average for their grade. The school serves a population where a high percentage of students are economically disadvantaged. Parents should be aware that while the school provides an alternative charter model, the current data indicates it is struggling with fundamental metrics of student success and retention, which are essential areas for improvement.
