Summary:
The Chrysalis Charter District in Palo Cedro, California, consists of a single K-8 elementary school, Chrysalis Charter, serving 226 students with a notably low chronic absenteeism rate of 9.7%, which is less than half the state average.
Chrysalis Charter shows significant academic strengths, particularly in early grades, with 3rd grade math and English proficiency well above state averages and 8th grade science proficiency substantially higher than the state. Overall, the school performs above state averages in mathematics and science. However, a concerning dip in 5th-grade performance across all subjects is a notable challenge, and the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years.
Despite the ranking trend, the school operates efficiently with a moderate budget and a higher-than-average student-teacher ratio while maintaining key areas of above-average achievement. The strong attendance culture and performance recovery in middle grades are positive signs for families. The district itself ranks in the 69th percentile statewide, indicating an above-average educational environment overall.
