Primary Charter District

The Primary Charter District in California is home to a single elementary public charter school, Primary Charter, which serves students in grades K-4. Despite being the only school in the district, Primary Charter stands out as an exceptional educational institution, ranking in the top 20% of elementary schools statewide and maintaining a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Primary Charter's academic performance is particularly noteworthy, with significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the California state averages. For instance, 52.78% of 3rd graders and 60% of 4th graders at Primary Charter scored proficient or better on the Smarter Balanced ELA/Literacy assessments, compared to state averages of 42.96% and 43.73%, respectively. In Mathematics, 68.06% of 3rd graders and 62.86% of 4th graders at Primary Charter scored proficient or better, outpacing the state averages of 45.11% and 40.79%.

The school's diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic enrollment and significant representation from other racial and ethnic groups, is a testament to its inclusive and equitable approach to education. While the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.4% is a concern, the fact that 19.15% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that Primary Charter is effectively supporting students from various socioeconomic backgrounds and providing a high-quality education to the community it serves.
