Summary:
The Yuba River Charter District in Grass Valley contains one elementary school, Yuba River Charter, which serves grades K-8 with 323 students.
Yuba River Charter consistently outperforms California state averages in core academic subjects, with its most exceptional results appearing in the upper grades. For instance, 7th grade English scores are nearly 40 points above the state average, and 8th grade math proficiency more than doubles the state average. The school also shows a particular strength in science, where 50% of students are proficient compared to 33% statewide. It's important to note that the school serves a population where over half of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and it maintains a chronic absenteeism rate slightly better than the state average.
While the school's overall performance is strong, there is a noticeable performance gap in mathematics for the lower grades, with 3rd and 4th grade scores falling below state averages. This is a notable contrast to the high achievement in later grades. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, dropping from the 74th percentile to the 56th percentile in the latest data, which is an interesting point given its solid test scores. With a student-teacher ratio of 26-to-1, the school appears to use its resources effectively to deliver above-average academic outcomes for its community.
