Cottonwood Creek Charter District

The Cottonwood Creek Charter District consists of a single high-performing K-8 charter school, Cottonwood Creek Charter, serving 294 students in Cottonwood, California.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic results, consistently ranking in the top 15% of all California schools over the past three years. Its students significantly outperform state averages, especially in mathematics, where proficiency rates are nearly double the state's average. The school also boasts an outstanding attendance record, with a chronic absenteeism rate less than a third of the state average, which strongly supports its academic success.

While excelling overall, a review of grade-level data shows particularly strong performance in the early grades and 7th-grade mathematics. The school operates efficiently with a moderate budget and a higher-than-average student-teacher ratio. Parents should note that while still above average, science scores are the closest to the state benchmark, and the school's statewide ranking, though still excellent, has slightly declined in the most recent year.
