Summary

Invictus Academy of Richmond is a 7–12 school in El Cerrito with 403 students. In 2025–26, proficiency was below California’s in all three reported subjects: 39% in English language arts (ELA), 17% in math, and 21% in science, compared with 49%, 38%, and 36% statewide. Math is the clearest academic concern: its 22-point gap from the state was the largest.

ELA is the school’s relative strength compared with nearby results, while math is its weakest. Against reported 2025–26 averages for West Contra Costa Unified, a nearby-district reference, Invictus was 5 points higher in ELA, 11 points lower in math, and 3 points lower in science; this is not a benchmark for its own district. Among the eight nearby schools with results, Invictus ranked fourth in ELA, fifth in math, and fourth in science. Albany High, Berkeley High, and El Cerrito High scored higher in all three subjects, but Invictus outperformed some other nearby schools.

Results have generally declined from 2022–23: ELA fell 6 percentage points and math 11, while science fell 5 despite recovering from its low point in 2023–24. Over the same period, state results rose, and Invictus’s math gap widened by 14 points. Other outcomes offer a more mixed picture: graduation was 96% in 2025–26, 8 points above the state, but chronic absenteeism was 35%, 17 points above it. SchoolDigger placed Invictus at the 30th percentile with 1 star in 2025–26. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 16.4, the lowest among nearby schools with reported ratios, and 79% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. A notable earlier subgroup result: SchoolDigger’s 2022–23 ranking for how well the school served African American students was at the 96th percentile with 5 stars, compared with the school’s overall 66th percentile.
