Summary:
The Achieve Charter School of Chico District contains a single K-8 school, Achieve Charter School of Chico, serving 222 students with a notable strength in student attendance and some areas of academic performance.
This school stands out for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 4.3%, which is dramatically better than the state average, indicating a strong, consistent learning environment. Academically, results are mixed: the school performs slightly above the state average in science and shows significant strength in upper elementary English Language Arts, with 4th and 5th graders scoring well above their peers statewide. However, overall proficiency in math and English Language Arts is below state averages, with particular challenges in 6th and 8th grade math and 6th grade English Language Arts.
For parents, the key takeaways are the school's powerful commitment to attendance and its success in early grades, which may provide a solid foundation. The noted struggles in middle school grades suggest that families with students in those grades should inquire about the specific academic supports available. The school's ranking has seen a gradual decline over recent years, so understanding current improvement plans would be valuable for making an informed decision.
