Summary:
The Blue Oak Charter District consists of a single public charter school, Blue Oak Charter, which serves 219 students in grades K-8 in Chico, California.
As the only school in its district, Blue Oak Charter operates with autonomy and receives above-average funding per student. However, the school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English and math below the state average. Performance varies dramatically between grade levels, particularly in middle school math and science, and the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years.
A major area of concern is chronic absenteeism, which at 35.5% is nearly double the state average and likely impacts learning. For parents, this suggests that while the school has a unique K-8 structure and resources, investigating the specific support for middle school grades and the school's strategies for improving daily attendance would be important steps when considering enrollment.
