Summary:
The River Oak Charter District in Ukiah, California, contains a single elementary school, River Oak Charter, which serves about 245 students in grades K-8.
This school shows a distinct pattern of academic strengths, particularly in its upper grades and in science. Students in grades 5 through 8 often outperform state averages, with exceptional results in science where proficiency is nearly double the state average. However, performance in the lower elementary grades, especially in 4th grade English, is significantly below state benchmarks, indicating a notable disparity that the school may need to address.
Despite a recent dip in its statewide ranking percentile, the school has maintained a consistent 3-star quality rating. It operates with a student-teacher ratio of 22-to-1 and faces a challenge with chronic absenteeism, which is slightly higher than the state average. For parents, the key takeaways are the school's demonstrated excellence in science education and strong middle school program, balanced against the need to understand supports for younger students and strategies to improve daily attendance.
