Summary:
The Live Oak Charter District in Petaluma contains one elementary school, Live Oak Charter, serving grades K-8 with 271 students.
Live Oak Charter consistently performs above California state averages, with its most outstanding results in Science, where student proficiency is over 23 points higher than the state. The school also shows a notable pattern of improvement; while younger grades perform closer to or below state averages in some subjects, students in grades 6-8 excel, with English scores 24-27 points above the state and 8th-grade math scores 30 points higher. This suggests the school's program effectively supports academic growth as students advance.
Operationally, the school maintains a chronic absenteeism rate better than the state average and achieves these strong academic results with a moderate per-student spending level. It holds a steady statewide ranking in the 60th-66th percentile. Areas for potential focus include strengthening early-grade mathematics instruction, where 3rd-grade scores are below the state average, to build an even stronger foundation for student success.
