Summary

Heritage Peak Charter is an alternative school in Rio Linda, California, serving 1,010 students in grades K–12. Its 2025–2026 results show a generally strong standing against nearby schools, but the main takeaway is that mathematics is the clearest gap against the state: 36% of students were proficient, 2 points below California’s 38%.

The school’s strongest comparisons are in English language arts (ELA) and science: proficiency was 53% in ELA and 41% in science, respectively 4 and 5 points above the state, and 17 and 19 points above Twin Rivers Unified. Mathematics was also 9 points above the district, even though it trailed the state. Among nearby schools with results for the same year, Heritage Peak ranked second of five in ELA and math, and third of six in science. It also exceeded the nearby-school averages by 13 points in ELA, 15 in math, and 6 in science. The reported chronic-absenteeism rate was 0%, compared with 18% statewide and 44% districtwide; this is a single-year figure.

Graduation rose from 92% in 2024–2025 to 94% in 2025–2026, a 2-point increase, while the state rate moved from 87.5% to 87.9%. Heritage Peak’s 2025–2026 rate was below the nearby schools with reported figures: 98% at Westlake Charter, 97% at Keema School for Independent Study, and 100% at Creative Connections Arts Academy. No SchoolDigger rank or star rating for the school is provided. The available context is historical: its free/reduced-lunch-eligible share was 54% and student–teacher ratio was 21 in 2017–2018, not current measures. Interpret the results with these limits in mind: only one year of test results is supplied, and there is no current low-income measure or student–teacher ratio.
