Summary:
The American River Collegiate Academy District in Orangevale, California, consists of a single elementary school, American River Collegiate Academy, serving 132 students in grades K-5.
This small school stands out for its exceptionally strong student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of less than 1%, and for its mathematics performance, where student proficiency significantly exceeds the California state average. The school also invests heavily in its students, with per-student spending well above typical public school levels. However, academic performance is mixed, with English Language Arts results near or below the state average, and a notable drop in its statewide ranking from the previous year.
Parents should note a distinct pattern in academic results: while 3rd graders perform well, 5th-grade scores, particularly in English, are much lower. This suggests families with students in upper grades may want to inquire about the school's literacy curriculum and support. Despite the recent ranking decline, the school's high resource investment and outstanding attendance record provide a solid foundation for student engagement and potential academic growth.
