Summary:
The American River Collegiate Academy District in Orangevale, California, contains a single elementary school, American River Collegiate Academy, which serves grades K-5 with a small, close-knit community of 132 students.
This school stands out for its exceptionally strong student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of less than 1%, far below the state average, indicating a highly engaged school community. Academically, the school demonstrates a clear strength in mathematics, where student proficiency significantly outpaces the California average. However, performance in English Language Arts is more mixed, with a notable drop in proficiency by the 5th grade that has contributed to a decline in the school's statewide ranking compared to the previous year.
With per-student spending well above typical levels, the school is well-resourced. Parents can expect a focus on math excellence and a strong culture of attendance. The key area for improvement appears to be in supporting consistent literacy growth through all grade levels, particularly for upper elementary students, to match the success seen in other subjects.
