Summary:
The Olivet Elementary Charter District in Santa Rosa, California, consists of a single K-6 charter school, Olivet Elementary Charter, serving 323 students, over half of whom are from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Academic performance at Olivet Elementary Charter is below state averages, with particular challenges in mathematics where proficiency declines sharply in the upper grades. While English Language Arts scores are also below average, they show more variability, with 4th and 6th graders performing closer to state benchmarks than 3rd and 5th graders. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, currently placing it in the lower quarter of all California schools.
Notably, the school spends more per student than the state average and maintains a chronic absenteeism rate similar to California's overall rate. However, it operates with a higher student-to-teacher ratio. The data suggests families should consider that, despite its charter status and level of funding, the school faces significant academic hurdles, especially in developing math skills as students progress, which may require targeted support for children who are struggling.
