Summary:

Charter Oak Unified includes nine schools—five elementary schools, one middle school, two high schools and one alternative school—serving students from elementary through high school. Across all nine schools, average proficiency is about 47% in ELA, 36% in math and 30% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. The seven schools outside the alternative and continuation settings average about 54% in ELA, 43% in math and 35% in science—above the state in ELA and math, but just below it in science. The key takeaway is that the overall averages conceal sharply different results depending on which school and setting a family considers.

Washington Elementary is the clearest academic standout, leading the group in all three subjects at about 67% in ELA, 66% in math and 57% in science; those results are 18, 28 and 21 percentage points above the state. At the other end, Arrow High (Continuation) has the lowest results, at about 5% in ELA, 11% in math and 5% in science—44, 28 and 31 points below the state. The gap between the two schools is about 62 points in ELA, 56 in math and 53 in science. Royal Oak Middle also stands out: it exceeded state results in ELA and math in both grades 7 and 8.

Group results improved over two years, but schools did not all move in the same direction: the nine-school average rose about 1 point in ELA, 3 in math and 4 in science. Glen Oak Elementary had a particularly large science gain of 19 points, while Cedargrove Elementary fell 10 points in science; Willow Elementary declined in all three subjects. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile histories show Washington rising from the 77th to the 86th percentile, while Cedargrove fell from the 58th to the 47th. Among elementary schools, Washington also had the lowest reported free/reduced lunch eligible share for 2024–2025, at about 64%; shares ranged up to about 86% at Arrow. Its student-teacher ratio was 23.3, compared with 22.8 at Willow, so these figures do not point to a simple ratio or income pattern behind the score differences.
