Summary

Yuba City Charter is a 256-student K–12 alternative school in Yuba City, California. Its 2024–2025 proficiency rates were below California’s in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The clearest concern is math: proficiency fell from 19% in 2022–2023 to 10% in 2024–2025, while the state rate rose, widening the school-state gap by 12 percentage points.

Compared with nearby schools, ELA is the school’s relative strength: 31% were proficient, above the nearby average of 26%, and the school ranked fourth of eight with scores. Math was 10%, below the nearby average of 13%, and science was 9%, well below the nearby average of 20%; science ranked sixth of eight. Sixth-grade ELA was a brighter spot at 44%, compared with 33% at CORE Charter and 29% at Lincoln (Abraham) (Alternative), though it was below Sutter Peak Charter Academy at 57%. Statewide, the school was behind by 18 points in ELA, 28 in math, and 24 in science. No test scores for the Yuba City Charter District or school-level SchoolDigger ranks and stars are supplied, so those comparisons are unavailable.

Results show a mixed picture over time: ELA dipped by 1 point from 2022–2023 to 2024–2025, while math fell by 9 points. Other reported outcomes are encouraging: chronic absenteeism was 2% in 2024–2025 versus 19% statewide, and the 2023–2024 graduation rate was 100%. The student-teacher ratio was 12.7, lower than the nearby average of 19, but this did not coincide with stronger math or science proficiency. In 2024–2025, 84% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby average of 72%; these figures provide context, not an explanation for results.
