Summary

Clarksville Charter is a large K-12 alternative school serving 2,347 students in El Dorado Hills, CA, that stands out for its exceptional student engagement and strong graduation rates, operating efficiently within its own Clarksville Charter District.

The school's most impressive achievements are in keeping students connected and on track to graduate, with chronic absenteeism at just 1.1% and a graduation rate consistently above 95%, figures that dramatically outperform both the state average and nearby alternative schools like Innovations Academy and Mountainside Middle College High. Academically, the school shows a particular strength in science, where proficiency exceeds the state average, and English Language Arts, where scores improve significantly as students progress through the grades, though mathematics is an identified area for growth.

Compared to other local charters, Clarksville Charter offers a balanced model, serving a more economically diverse population than some high-performing peers like Buckeye Union Mandarin Immersion Charter while achieving its solid outcomes with notably efficient per-student spending. This combination of scale, consistent engagement, and steady improvement suggests it operates more like a successful traditional school than a typical alternative program.
