Imagine Schools Riverside County District

The Imagine Schools Riverside County District consists of a single, large K-8 charter school, Imagine Schools Riverside County, which serves 1,454 students in Coachella.

This school serves a community with high economic need and shows a clear, positive trend, having improved its statewide ranking significantly over the past three years. A major strength is its student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate far better than the California average, indicating a strong and engaging school environment. The school also demonstrates notable success in 8th-grade English Language Arts, where student proficiency exceeds the state average.

However, the school faces significant academic challenges, particularly in mathematics, where proficiency rates are well below state averages across most grades, with a sharp decline observed in 5th grade. While the school spends over $20,000 per student, these resources have not yet translated to broad academic parity with the state. Parents should note the school's consistent improvement trajectory and its standout success in promoting attendance and upper-grade literacy, balanced against the ongoing need for improvement in math and science performance.
