Summary

Village Charter is a small, high-performing K-8 charter school in Santa Rosa, serving 118 students within the well-regarded Village Charter District.

Academically, the school consistently outperforms most nearby schools and the state average, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. For example, its students show much higher proficiency than those at Abraham Lincoln Elementary or J. X. Wilson Elementary. A standout feature is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 4.2%, far below the state average and most local schools, suggesting a strong, engaging school culture that keeps students present and learning.

Remarkably, Village Charter achieves these strong results while spending significantly less per student than many comparison schools, such as Albert F. Biella Elementary. Its closest competitor is Oak Grove Elementary/Willowside Middle, which has similar academic scores. While there is room for growth in mathematics, Village Charter stands out in the area for its effective combination of academic performance, student attendance, and resource efficiency.
