Summary:
The River Oak Charter District in Ukiah, California, consists of a single K-8 elementary school, River Oak Charter, which serves 245 students and maintains a 3-star rating.
River Oak Charter demonstrates clear academic strengths, particularly in science where student proficiency is dramatically higher than the state average, and in mathematics where middle school grades perform notably well. However, performance in English Language Arts is inconsistent across different grade levels, with some grades excelling and others, like 4th grade, performing below state averages. The school's overall ranking has seen a slight decline in recent years, moving from the 61st to the 53rd percentile among California schools.
Key considerations for families include the school's exceptional science program and effective upper-grade math instruction, balanced against challenges with chronic absenteeism that exceeds the state average and variability in reading and writing outcomes. The school achieves these results with a student-teacher ratio of 22-to-1 and serves a population where over a third of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting efficient use of its resources.
